Validation of Analysis Methods for Padeyes through Destructive Testing

  • Validation of Analysis Methods for Padeyes through Destructive Testing
Overview

Validation of Analysis Methods for Padeyes through Destructive Testing (2005-333-R15)

Project Team:

  • General Dynamics NASSCO

2012

NSRP ASE Investment: $150K

Objective:

The project aimed to develop data to determine, for typical shipyard pad eyes, the desirable degree of attachment with the goal of reducing no-value work content and material waste, all while ensuring safety in the ship erection process. The testing completed for this project represented the worst case in‐plane loading scenario for lap‐on and blade pad eye fillet weld attachments to ship structure: an eccentric load applied perpendicular to the length of a pad eye. Several similar weld groupings were tested in slightly different configurations in order to verify hand calculations and determine the most desirable degree of attachment for a pay eye based on those calculations and industry standards.

Key Deliverables:

Request Final Report from NSRP – Limited Distribution authorized to the U.S. shipbuilding and repair industry and NSRP ASE Program representatives

  National Shipbuilding Research Program: Taking shipbuilding and repair to the next level NSRP is co-funded by the U.S. Shipbuilding Industry and U.S. Navy
