    Objectives

    In order to improve the accuracy of the ultimate strength evaluation of hull plates, this study carries out a nonlinear finite element numerical simulation of the ultimate strength of ship hull plates under cyclic loading based on the critical state of elastic shakedown.

    Methods

    Finite element software ANSYS is used to primarily investigate the effects of elastic-perfectly plastic and cyclic-plastic Chaboche material models on the release of welding residual stress and ultimate strength of hull plates after reaching the critical state of elastic shakedown.

    Results

    The results show that after the first cycle, the welding residual stress is basically released and tends to become stable after reaching the elastic shakedown state under cyclic loading, at which point the ultimate strength of the Chaboche model is greater than that of the elastic-perfectly plastic model.

    Conclusions

    When performing the nonlinear finite element numerical simulation of the ultimate strength of ship hull plates under cyclic loading based on the critical state of elastic shakedown, it is necessary to select a material model that takes into account material hardening and the Bauschinger effect. The obtained results have a certain reference value for further research on the ultimate strength of hull structures under cyclic loading.
