Abstract

Finite element model had been developed to evaluate the application of sandwich plate on structural strength of ship hull. The influence of different core types, core thicknesses, and stiffener configurations was studied. The results showed that its application resulted in lower stress and deflection values compared to existing model. Moreover, increasing core thickness marginally decreased the stress and deflection value. The most optimum stiffener configuration could be reached by eliminating all side longitudinal without changing the web frame spacing which contributed to weight reduction up to 17% where structural strength was still below DNV-GL criteria.
