... investigations should be made. Generally, the modelling extent, boundary conditions, lateral pressure and initial deflection are key factors in the ultimate strength analysis of container ships. As a case study in this paper, we investigated the influences of above key factors on the ultimate strengths of both...

... years of experience the knowledge of the structure are increased compared with design. Ultimate strength analysis are claimed to cover only a small part of the hazards that should be analysed. The probabilistic approach is claimed to be model dependent and to give inconsistent results between analysis...
