Sun, H.-H. and Guedes Soares, C. (2003), “An Experimental Study of Ultimate Torsional Strength of a Ship-Type Hull Girder with a Large Deck Opening”, Marine Structures, Vol. 16, pp. 51-67

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation to determine the torsional ultimate strength of a ship-type hull girder with a large deck opening. Two models with the same dimensions and scantlings were designed to reflect the possible modes of failure under pure torque. A comparison between non-linear finite element calculations and the experimental results for the two models is presented.
