Structural analysis of different topology concepts of livestock carrier ship

U radu je analizirana čvrstoća različitih topoloških rješenja konstrukcije broda za prijevoz stoke. Za geometriju i topologiju glavnog rebra odabranog koncepta proveo se proračun prema pravilima klasifikacijskog društva Bureau Veritas. Posebno je analizirana problematika efikasnosti nadgrađa ovog tipa broda. Za analizu problematike korišteni su generički 3D MKE modeli izrađeni programom MAESTRO. Napravljeno je nekoliko različitih varijanti modela, te su uspoređivana različita konstrukcijska rješenja na odziv broda i na efikasnost nadgrađa. Također, provedbom teorije eksperimenata istražena je senzitivnosti utjecajnih topoloških parametara na primarni odziv trupa broda i efikasnost nadgrađa u uzdužnoj čvrstoći broda.This master thesis analyses strength of different topological structural concepts for livestock carrier. Main frame geometry and topology of selected concept is calculated according to the rules of Bureau Veritas classification society. Special attention was paid to superstructure efficiency for this type of a ship. Software package MAESTRO was used for building and analyzing 3D FEM models. Different variations of models were built. Structural response and superstructure efficiency of those structural solutions were analyzed. Also, the implementation of the theory of experiments investigated the sensitivity of influential topological parameters on the primary response of the hull and superstructure
