Abstract

Ultra-large container ships face challenges in structural strength under complex sea conditions. The traditional equivalent design wave method inadequately considers nonlinear wave effects, leading to inaccuracies in strength assessments. This article improves the method by incorporating nonlinear wave effects and optimizing wave spectrum parameters to better simulate structural responses. A study on a container ship, using refined wave load calculations and finite element analysis, focusing on stress distribution in critical hull areas. The findings show that the enhanced method more accurately reflects real loading conditions, confirming the ship’s structural soundness and offering optimization suggestions for improved safety and longevity.
