Abstract
A simplified method for predicting ultimate compressive strength of ship panels which have complex shape of the initial deflection is described. The procedure consists of the elastic large deflection theory and the rigid-plastic analysis based on the collapse mechanism taking into account large deformation effects. By taking only one component for the selected deflection function, the computer time for the elastic large deflection analysis will be drastically reduced. The validity of the procedure is checked by comparing the present solutions with the finite-element results for actual ship panels with complex shapes of measured initial deflection. It is concluded that the proposed procedure provides quite accurate solutions for the ultimate loads with extremely short computer time.
