Reliability analysis of Residual longitudinal strength of damaged ships.

In the present study, based on the value of residual longitudinal strength of damaged ships was predicted by the Smith’s method, the reliability analysis has been carried out for both vertical and horizontal bending moments. The limit state function was derived based on the interaction equation. Four cases of still water bending moment and two Monte Carlo simulations which different samples have been performed. This study focused on Bulk Carrier and Double Hull VLCC in ISSC 2000.
