INFLUENCE OF RESIDUAL DEFORMATION ON THE STRENGTH OF THE HULL STRUCTURE OF THE TANKER AFTER CONVERSION

The paper considers the strength characteristics of the newly built and built hull structure of the tanker after conversion. The main types of deformations due to chaotically-tearing forces and compressive forces arising from the bending of the hull are revealed. The new method of welding production for installation of structural elements of double bottom and second side with geometrically calculated parameters, which allowed to reduce dangerous stresses of linear and internal character, minimized wave, deformation components, provided an increase in the moment of resistance and strength of the hull structure during operation, was applied.
