A Numerical Model for Torsion Analysis of Composite Ship Hulls

الملخص EN

A new methodology based on a macroelement model proposed for torsional behaviour of the ship hull made of composite material is proposed in this paper.

A computer program has been developed for the elastic analysis of linear torsion.

The results are compared with the FEM-based licensed soft COSMOS/M results and measurements on the scale simplified model of a container ship, made of composite materials.
