Corrugated bulkheads for a bulk carrier are divided into watertight bulkheads and deep tank bulkheads. Design of the watertight bulkheads is principally determined by the permissible limit of Classification and IACS requirements. But, the verification of strength through finite element analysis is indispensable for design of the deep tank bulkheads. A stage for stress evaluation of corrugated part is required for optimum structural design of the deep tank bulkheads. Since the finite element analysis for real model requires excessive amount of calculation time, in this study one corrugated structure is replaced with beam element and is idealized as 2 dimensional frame structure connected to upper and lower stool Minimum weight design of the deep tank bulkheads is performed through generalized sloped deflection method(GSDM) as direct calculation method. The purpose of this study is the development of design system for the minimization of steel weight of deep tank bulkheads as well as watertight bulkheads. Discrete variables are used as design variables for the practical design. Evolution strategies(ES) is used as an optimization technique.

The classification society rules [1], [2], [3], [4] on the thicknesses of the bulkhead platings are represented graphically. Fig. 1 shows that every rule value for the thickness of the ordinary watertight bulkhead plating is than theoretical value calculated by Timoshenko's formula (1) for ${\sigma}_y=35,000$ psi and ｋ=0.4998. When a flooding due to damage occurred, however, the stiffened edges would yield and clamped edges would change to plastic hinges. In such case, the maximum bending stress at the clamped edges are reduced considerably. The rule values, therefore, are supposed to be acceptable in spite of their insufficient scantlings compared with the values calculated by (2). In the ordinary watertight bulkhead platings A.B.S. Rules give the largest scantlings of all. Fig. 2 shows that A.B.S. Rules and K.R.-N.K. Rules give larger values than the calculated by (2) for deep tank bulkhead platings. But Lloyd Rules give the smaller thickness than equation (2). The special requirements for corrosion bulkhead platings are not studied here.

Three dimensional structural analysis is carried out to evaluate the global behavior of the platings for the watertight bulkhead and deep tank bulkhead of the selected model ship and to analyze the theoretical background of their formulations for the bulkhead platings in the Rules of each classification societies. In this study, coarse and fine mesh analysis for transverse bulkhead is carried out to know the stress distribution in way of the concerned areas and that result is presented to show the back data for the new formulations of such transverse bulkhead platings.

The ship hull construction materials of fishing boat has changed in order that wooden, steel, and fiber glass reinforced plastic(FRP). The fishing boat made from FRP has increased every year because that materials has proved excellent of the characteries for fishing boats construction members. Recently, FRP tend towards evasion for the pollution of air enviroment. Therefore. the materials of fishing boat construction must be exchanged by another one. Aluminium alloys must be recommended for fishing boats construction mateials because that is light weight and corrosion resisting in the sea water. Regulation of the standard of ship hull construction for aluminium alloys fishing boats did not enact laws in the interior now. Therefore, this regulation was studied by the following items. that is Rudder, Bottom construction, Side hull plate construction, Deck plate construction, piller. Water tight bulkhead, Deep tank, Fish tank, Stern construction, Superstructure, Deck house construction, Hatch, Engine room opening, Hatch opening, Bulwark, Welding and Rivet etc. A study on the regulation will be contributed to enact laws for fishing boat construction of aluminium alloys.
