An Analyze of Fatigue Life Construction of Lifting Poonton for Small Vessel

Abstract

Developing prototype aluminum pontoon lifting that functions as a floating dock for the repair of small vessels. To ensure the safety aspects of the construction of the Poonton lift, structural analysis is carried out. The purpose of research to determine the strength and fatigue life construction of lifting ponton due to loads. The method used is the finite element method and the palmgren-miner method. This research uses finite element based software. The results showed that the maximum stress value in the construction of the lifting pontoon is (σmax) = 74,897 MPa which is located in the H-Beam construction that functions as a supporting. The estimated fatigue life of the poonton lifting analyzed during operation is 9.46 years with a total load cycle of 1111680 cycles.

“…FEM is used to determine the fatigue life of the shaft propeller [4] [5]. Alamsyah et al, analyzed the strength of pontoon lift and its fatigue life using FEM [6]. Munandar et al, investigated the transverse strength of the container ship's deck due to all container loads using FEM [7].…”

Fatigue Life Assessment of Sideboard on Deck Barge Using Finite Element Methods

“…The rate of crack propagation is proportional to the stress range and is usually represented by the stress intensity ΔK, which is a function of stress magnitude, size, fracture geometry, and structural geometry [15]. Alamsyah et al detected the local stress and fatigue life of the pontoon lift using numerical simulations with the defines the number of cycles to failure, N(S), when a material is repeatedly cycled through a given stress range S (S-N curves approach), based on the weld joint model, and the profile section model [16]. Pangestu et al, examined the fatigue life of ship construction using the Simplified Fatigue Analysis method [17].…”
