The structural integrity of the ship is assured by implementing a number of different combinations of loads, wave periods, and heading angles. For each situation, a number of load components are calculated, such as external wave pressure, acceleration of the liquid cargo
and ballast tanks, accelerations at several stations along the ship's length, wave-induced bending and torsional moments together with the corresponding shear forces along the length of the ship, and the ship's motion in roll and pitch modes. The short-term response of the ship is obtained through the evaluation of the seaway spectrum, which is assumed to be stationary in a period of a few hours. The long-term response and the probability of exceedance of the load are evaluated from the short-term prediction.
The hull girder loads are calculated from a number of components. The most significant of these components are the still-water moments and shear forces resulting from the weight of the ship, cargo, and buoyancy. The second major component of hull girder loads is, the dynamic-
induced loads that include the vertical and horizontal bending moments, shear forces and torsional moment. These dynamic loads result from wave motions encountered by the ship. The classification rules are used to determine the still-water bending moments and shear forces,
as these are mainly dependent on the loading conditions of the vessel. A more detailed analysis is required when determining the dynamic aspects of the hull girder loads.
Such analysis is based on the sea conditions that the vessel is bound to encounter over its lifetime. Normally, a 20-year service life is chosen and appropriate wave data is selected. The result of such an analysis determines the extreme values that are used to calculate a design value for the hull girder loads. When determining the hull girder loads, the vertical bending moments and shear forces are
calculated first. Then tables and other sources of data are used to calculate the ratio of vertical to horizontal bending moment and shear force. These ratios are mainly dependent on the ship's dimensions and loading conditions.
Attributes of the Prophet Muhammad SAW Praise be to Allah, the Lord of Creations, and Peace and blessings be upon our prophet Muhammad, the faithful and the honest. Oh, Allah, we know nothing but what You teach us. You are the All- Knower, the Wise. Oh Allah, teach us what is good for us, and benefit us from what You taught us, and increase our knowledge. Show us the righteous things as righteous and help us to do them, and show us the bad things as bad and help us to keep away from them. O Allah our Lord, lead us out from the depths of darkness and illusion, unto the lights of erudition and knowledge, and from the muddy shallows of lusts unto the heavens of Your Vicinity. Dear brothers, this is the first part of the introduction to our new series: “Ways of access and signs of acceptance”, inspired by Allah’s Words: "I am only a man like you. It has been inspired to me." [Al Kahf, 110] It is as if in this ayah Allah the ...
