Research on Structural Strength of Catamaran Superstructure Constructed with Aluminum Alloy

2012 
The design of Superstructure constructed with aluminum alloy do not have to follow the traditional standard design method. It can be designed by applying strength theory and ANSYS program or MSC Patran / Nastran program, which can ensure the strength requirements with the selected aluminum alloy components and make the weight of the ship lightest. In this paper, the 42.4m catamaran sightseeing boat is used as an example. The structural strength of the superstructure constructed with aluminum alloy is calculated by MSC Patran / Nastran program. The distribution of the superstructure stress is obtained, which proved the size of the selected components of the superstructure can meet the requirements of the local strength and can be the reference of selecting the structure size. As the other conditions are unchanged, the the local thickness of the junction of the front wall and the side wall of the compass deck is changed. the relationship between plate thickness and stress is obtained. It is found that as The plate thickness is thicker, the stress there decreases; and as the thickness is smaller, it is obvious to reduce stress as the plate thickness Increase. when the thickness increases to a certain extent, the effect of the plate stress decreases is not obvious.
