Abstract

This study investigates the hull girder’s ultimate strength of 17500 LTDW Oil Tanker. The explicit finite element analysis is carried out to estimate the hull girder longitudinal strength of the Oil Tanker. The numerical analysis starts with the longitudinal strength analyses that examine the ship’s structural response behavior due to sagging and hogging bending moment load. The structural strength analyses were conducted to determine the maximum structural response behavior for withstanding the operational load. Afterward, the hull girder’s ultimate strength is undertaken to reflect the progressive collapse behavior of the oil tanker structure under the combined global bending moment and local hydrostatic pressure load. The explicit finite element analysis is performed to estimate the ultimate strength behavior, considering the effect of the hydrostatic pressure load and the material nonlinearities. The typical 17500 LTDW oil tanker represents Indonesia’s common oil vessel that supports national fuel oil distribution. Furthermore, this study can recognize the oil tanker’s ultimate hull girder strength characteristics.
