Abstract

This paper presents results of investigation on car deck performances by means of application of sandwich materials for 300 GT Ferry Ro-Ro. Strength performance was examined utilizing finite element method and compared to design criteria. Four finite element models of the ship deck were developed; three of them were modification of existing ship structure with different configurations of stiffeners. Two design load cases were considered in the analysis. Design load scenario was assumed to be in seagoing condition where the pressures were due to the static and dynamic distributed loads. In this research, sandwich materials were fabricated from steel face sheets and core materials which were made from two filler materials, one core was from clamshell powder and the other was from eggshell powder. The synthetic resin was used as the matrix and epoxy resin was applied as the adhesive layer. The results were promising in terms of structural strength and weight savings. The strength of car deck sandwich structure having no deck beam was found to be met with the allowable strength criteria and contributed to reducing the stress approximately 14.6%. Moreover, its application led to the weight saving ranged from 8.87% to 11.6%.
