New Technical Reports

Now Available From

Ship Structure Committee

The Ship Structure Committee has recently published three new technical reports which are avail- able free of charge. SSC-297, "Evaluation of Liquid Dynamic

Loads in Slack LNG Cargo

Tanks," presents a review of worldwide scale model sloshing data and reduces the data to a common format for the purpose of design load coefficients. Addi- tional scale model laboratory ex- periments have been conducted to supplement the available model sloshing data.

SSC-298, "Investigation of

Steels for Improved Weldability in Ship Construction—Phase 1," is the initial effort of an ongoing project to minimize heat-affected zone and weld-metal property de- gradation for high desposition rate welding. Two production steels and 20 laboratory heats of steels of various chemical com- positions have been recommended for further examination.

SSC-299, "Ultimate Strength of a Ship's Hull Girder in Plastic and Buckling Modes," analyzes limiting conditions beyond which a ship's hull girder will fail to perform its function. Vertical and lateral bending moments and tor- sional moments are used to de- velop a procedure for estimating the ultimate capacity of the hull.
