Multihull, structural analysis, finite elementsAbstract
Structural analysis of a multihull is relatively complex since the connecting structure introduces additional stress than those typical of a monohull. The aluminum trimaran presented in this work was designed within the framework of the research project “Conceptual Design of a High-performance Vessel for Passenger Transport in Chile’s Austral Zone”. The trimaran was structurally measured using the regulations of classification societies Germanischer Lloyd, Det Norske Veritas y LloydÅLs Register. For the scantlings obtained with each regulation a Finite Element Model was created and the structural analysis for the slamming and splitting moment events was made. The results were analyzed and the stress concentration zones were determined to compare them with admissible stresses and conclude whether the structural sizing adequately and safely responds to the design stresses.
