The structural behaviour of several damaged hull girders of ships is predicted by a method that has already been tested in undamaged hulls with very good results. The method accounts for the elasto-plastic post-collapse behaviour of the panels, which are the main components of the structure and it can predict the effects of initial imperfections both in compression and tension. Different types of ships are analysed under different damaged situations. The study covers typical crude carriers and containerships and the degradation of the ultimate carrying capacity under longitudinal bending moments is evaluated.
