Photo-Elastic Investigation of Destroyer Deck Structure
Abstract
Studies of the stress distribution in the deck of the 1850 ton type destroyer have been carried to partial completion by means of photo-elastic observation on celluloid models of the deck under uniform tension. These studies indicate that the framing has little effect on the distribution of stresses in the deck and that the present type of doubler produces high concentrations of stress in the deck plate. A new type f deck fitting in the form of a parabolic arch for use around openings is suggested, its principal feature being that it redistributes the stress over an extended region in the deck, thus preventing concentrations of stress in the deck plate. Color photographs and black and white drawings are presented to illustrate the various observations which have been made.
