Abstract
The box girder can be seen as a kind of simplified ship structure that can withstand a vertical bending moment. Dynamic loads play an important role in structural safety analysis, such as ship bow slamming during harsh sea conditions. In this paper, the dynamic elastic–plastic response and ultimate strength of a box girder under a bending moment are analyzed. A box girder with the same cross-section scantlings and span length as the Nishihara experiment is selected as the analysis object. Based on the model experiment results, the non-linear FE analysis method is validated to capture the ultimate strength of a box girder under bending moment. Then, six box girders were designed to study the critical influence factors on the dynamic ultimate moment, including the model length, plate thickness, mass density and load excitation period. On the basis of structural dynamic response, an evaluation criterion of dynamic limit state for the box girder under a bending moment is proposed in this paper. Compared with the static ultimate moment, the change in the dynamic ultimate moment is discussed in detail to obtain the general principal method for dynamic strength analysis. The conclusions in this paper can provide guidance for dynamic ultimate strength evaluation.
