SOLUTIONS TO TORSIONAL MOMENTS, HOGGING, AND SAGGING IN ULTRA LARGE CONTAINER VESSELS (ULCVs) AND SIMILAR SHIPS

ABSTRACT Ultra Large Container Vessels (ULCVs) present a fundamental structural paradox in navalarchitecture: they behave as thin-walled, open-top cross-sections lacking a continuous strength deck.Consequently, dynamic torsional moments (MT ) and shear stresses (τ ) induced by ob...
