SFLOW - SHEAR FLOW COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR VERY LARGE CARGO CARRIERS
Keywords:
KeywordsAbstract
The existence of shear stress, as of the primary forces, in a ship's
structure is overlooked due to the more emphasised analysis of the
longitudinal bending stress. Realising the importance of shear flow
distribution calculation ill analysing the shear stress of a ship's
structure, a component program, SFLOW, is developed to calculate
shear flow distribution in a ship's structure of thee Very Large Cargo
Carrier (VLCC). This is rightly so as the hull structure of VLCCs is
typical, and facilitate the basis for further development to r:alculate
shear flow distribution of other vessel types. The computer program
SFLOW can display results in both numeric and graphical display.
User-friendliness and flexibility characteristics are added to the
program to improve the usability and enhanced the prospect offuture
development and application.
