Abstract

Based on the study of ultima loads for the ship hull girder, we establish the need of determining instability loads of deck grillages. After a review on existing methods anc. accurate theory, including torsional and shear effects, is developpedfor the response of a one dimensional structure element ·subjected to compressive forces, intending its use on matrix methods for structural engineering. With the response matrix of such element in hands, we mount the overall response matrix of the whole structure by usually known methods, and afterwards derive the instability characteristic for it with a step by step method reasoning. With such theoretical embasement we develop a logical-numerical procedure wich will enable us to find instability loads in a totally automated numerical way. The flow diagram of elementary logical commands based on that procedure is translated to the language of a scientific computer. We presenta FORTRAN program wich may be run on an IBMsystem 1130 with 32 K core, or alternatively the IBMSystem 360/40. Using this program we are able to quantify the torsional and shear effects on the grillage's girders as well as built in boundaries.
