Ultimate Strength Test and Numerical Simulation Analysis of Typical Cabin Made of a Novel Steel

Abstract

AbstractA novel steel was proposed to apply to a ship, thereby enabling ships to safely complete their missions. But it is different in the ultimate bearing capacity between the novel material and traditional low-alloy high-carbon steels. There is little research on it. In this paper, the ultimate strength and the destruction mode of the typical cabin made of the novel steel under the hazardous condition are successfully obtained through a four-point bending test. Numerical simulation of the typical cabin at its limit state is verified by the test. Based on the numerical simulation method, theoretical initial deformation and ideal constitutive relation are introduced, which contributes to more conservative prediction for the ultimate strength of the ship made of the novel steel. This paper has guiding significance for subsequent tests and provides technical support for the structure design of the ship made of the novel steel.
