Titanic
The ship in still water. The water supports the ship's weight
evenly along the length. Notice that discontinuities cause stress risers
even in still water -- for example, around the aft expansion joint
(look at the area of lighter blue).
18
Titanic
The ship would have been at when the first three compartments
flooded. This imbalance between the weight and buoyancy causes
the bow to droop downward . Stresses in the bow are generally higher
than they were in the still condition. Notice that the increase in
stresses around the forward expansion joint causes a light blue peak.

Titanic
This huge imbalance causes severe bending of the
hull in the midship region. This large red area surrounds
the aft expansion joint, while a smaller red area occurs
around the forward expansion joint. During the sinking,
the forward expansion joint opened up sufficiently to
break the two stack stays which crossed it. The hull
broke into three pieces. The middle piece was a 60-foot
long section centered about the aft expansion joint. This
matches the location of the large red area in the image.
21
Titanic
Along with the remaining windows and glass, the large gap
in the center of the photo is one of Titanic's two expansion joints.
These joints were a structural addition to accommodate for
mechanical stresses on the ship.

Other Loads
Hydrostatic Loads
Loading associated with hydrostatic pressure
Hydrostatic Loads are considerable in submarines
Hydrostatic pressure :
PHydStatic gh
Torsional Loads
Torsional Loads of hull are often insignificant
They can have effect on ships with large opening(s) in their
weather deck. (e.g., research vessels)
24
Other Loads
Weapon Loads
Loading due to explosion of weapons or shock impact
in both air and underwater
Naval Vessel should resist these forces
Naval vessel will often go through a series of shock trials
during initial sea trials.
25
Plating
- Thin pieces closing in the top, bottom and side of structure.
- Contributes significantly to longitudinal hull strength.
- Resists the hydrostatic pressure load (or side impact).
Frame
- A transverse member running from keel to deck.
- Resists hydrostatic pressure, waves, impact, etc.
26
Ship Structure
Structural Components
Stringer
- Girders running along the sides of the ship.
- Typically smaller than a longitudinal.
- Provides longitudinal strength.
Deck Beams
- Transverse member of the deck frame
Deck Girder
- Longitudinal member of the deck frame
(deck longitudinal)
27
28
Longitudinal
- Girders running parallel to the keel along the bottom.
- It intersects floors at right angles.
- It provides longitudinal strength.
