Abstract:
This report presents the results of the second and third phases of the subject project of which phase one was first presented in our four volume set - SSC-386. These studies investigated the development of engineering technology that could lead to improvements in structural maintenance for new and existing tankers. These projects built further upon the work started in phase I specifically focusing on critical structural details and corrosion limits. The report has been divided into five volumes, each of which may stand alone. Volume one opens with a summary of all three phases by Professor Robert G. Bea, the coordinating investigator for the program, and follows with a report on corrosion limits for tankers. The second and fifth volumes look into evaluation of cracked critical structural details in tankers. The third volume presents theory and user instructions for software to manage repair of critical structural details. The fourth volume applies to fatigue classification of critical structural details. The software developed in the project will be available on the next Ship Structure Committee CD Rom release which is anticipated to be released in the next year.
