Abstract
This document is the final research report for Marad sponsored research contract SR-1347. The intent of the research was to provide an overview of the current state of the art of specific areas in the field of ship maintenance through the exclusive review of pertinent Ship Structures Committee (SSC) reports. The topics discussed in the report include; reliability based design, welding, mechanical fastening techniques, fatigue, structural fractures, instrumentation, vibration, corrosion, inspection non-destructive-testing, (NDT) , and instrumentation. The topics are in accordance with the National Academy's recommended research topics for 93-94 fiscal year in the ship structures field. In addition to the research report, a database was developed to aid researchers in finding SSC reports of interest to their specific topics. The database is written in Microsoft Foxpro for Windows, which must be resident on the users' PC in order to use the database. An operator's manual and floppy, (3.5 1.44 MByte), disk is supplied with the report in the end matter.
