Modelling of the Fatigue Loading
Weibull-distribution
• The most probable stress during life time SC, when Change of lograrithm base
ship encounters N=108 waves has probability Q=1/N.
Then the cumulative distribution gives

Methods for Stress Analysis
different methods:
– Nominal stress approach
– Hot-spot stress approach
– Notch stress approach
• Each method has own SN-
curves F M
Nominal stress: σ nom = + ⋅y
– Notch stress most time A I
consuming and generic
– Nominal stress simplest to use Hot-spot stress: σ hs = K s ⋅ σ nom
but most expensive to produce

Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics
(LEFM)
• In linear system the optential energy Π, deformation energy U and the work
done by external loads WU are equal by absolute values:
• U = WU = - Π
• The change in potential energy dΠ based on growth of crack area dA = t Δa can
be written wih help of crack intensity factor as
dΠ K 2I
=−
dA E
• This property is called driving force of crack and denoted by G

• The structure much fulfill the criteria K < KC to be safe with respect to brittle fracture. In design:
– The left hand side is influenced by load level and length of crack which has not been detected
– The right hand side is influenced by material selection (depends also on temperature, thickness of material and loading speed)
• Linear elastic fracture mechanics can be applied if the plastic region in the crack tip is small with respect to critical
crack length. The plate thickness has to fulfill the following condition

Charphy V-Test
• Charphy-test forms most popular way
to determine the energy for fracture
(CVN) measured in Joules [J].
• The test basis on
– Pendulum
– Predefined notch with V-shape (Charpy-V)
• When the pendulum hits the specimen
the energy absorbed by the structure
depends on the ductility
• The method is NOT based on theory of
fracture mechanics but on the energy
absorbed by the material

DNV Charphy V-Test Requirements
• Table shows the energy levels and corresponding steel grades
• Note that for HS (High Strength) and EHS (Extra High Strength) the minimum
energy depend on the yield strength
• It is presented that the Charphy-V given 20 J at transition temperature forms the
minimum requirements for welded steel in ships.

DNV Requirements
Steel
• The grade requirement is based is based on plate thickness and material class
• DNV has five classes and they are used to secure that the impact toughness KC
is constant
• Highest classes are required at
– Sheer strake
– Bilge
– Strength deck edge plates
• The increasing plate thickness increases the rquirements since the stress state
changes from plane stress to three axial stress state
