The influence of plating with flat bars around technological cutouts on the stress state of a 37500 tdw chemical tanker

Résumé

The purpose of this study is to determine the stress states of the plating around the technological cutouts of a 37500 tdw chemical tanker under normal operational conditions, taking into account the efficiency of operational optimization and structural strength increase. This study will assess the stress state in the double bottom region of the ship, which experiences the most significant external loads from hydrostatic water pressure and internal loads from cargo pressure.
