The Effect of Sloshing in Tanks on the Hull Girder Bending Moments and Structural Reliability of Dam-aged Vessels

摘要

The structural reliability analysis of damaged vessels has commonly been conducted by neglecting the effect of sloshing. In this paper, the coupled motion of the damaged vessel and sloshing is set up based on the assumption that the damaged tanks are of rectangular shape. The sloshing effects in tanks are modeled by a linear multimodal approach.
