Book excerpt: "A two dimensional elastic grillage analysis has been performed on the mid body sideshell of the M.V. Arctic when subjected to ice loads. The model takes account of the stiffnesses of the hopper and bilge units and extends over one half length of a cargo hold. The boundary conditions along the centre line of the model are modified as required to enable symmetric and asymmetric loading of the structure to be investigated. Special purpose double bottom beam elements have been used in the analysis to reflect fully the closed cell nature of the sideshell structure. Some local revisions have been made to the geometry of the idealized beam elements to give them equivalent properties to the structural elements they are modelling. A number of ice loads ranging from a concentrated load through line loads extending over 2, 4 and 8 web spaces have been investigated. The resulting bending stresses are relatively low, however shear stresses in the immediate vicinity of the loaded portion of the horizontal stringer are very high (170N/mm2) for the most severely loaded conditions"--Leaf [1].
