Guidance Notes on Whipping Assessment of Large Container Ships.

One of the critical issues for large container ships is the vibration of the hull girder due to wave impact which leads to excitation of whipping responses. This study presents analysis guidance to determine values of dynamic bending moments considering the effects due to whipping which are suitable for design application. The analysis for predicting structural capacities has been earned out by computing ultimate longitudinal strength. In addition the assessment of the safety against failure due to excessive maximum loads is accomplished in Ultimate Limit States. Eventually the whipping effects and design assessment are summarised and discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
