Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): Generally ships fatigue assessment is done in detailed design phase with the help of FE analysis.
This means that the modeling and calculations are time consuming processes.
To improve this process a simplified fatigue assessment approach is generated.
This means that the FE analyses are neglected and therefore it could be possible to use this method in earlier design stage.
Instead of FE method the beam theory or CB method is used.
In this work beam theory is applied.

At first the fatigue critical connections are studied together with damage statistics of tankers.
This data describes the most fatigue critical connections, their locations and the type of fatigue loading.
This significantly constrains the data amount for fatigue assessment.

Important part of fatigue assessment is to define local stresses in fatigue critical connections.
For that the stress concentration factors are defined based on literature review.
This allows transforming nominal stresses into local notch stresses at fatigue critical spots.
From notch stresses the fatigue parameter damage ratio is obtained and finally the fatigue life is calculated for the fatigue critical connection.

The method is evaluated in case study with FE analysis.
The results showed good precision of simplified method and the uncertainties were on the safe side of the deviation.
The method weak point is the lack to take into account shear loading as suitable stress concentration factors are complicated to predict.
