Description
Purpose
This Excel App can calculate the shear flow around a ship’s cross section due to hull girder vertical shear force
With a known shear force, the maximum shear flow of the cross section can be determined
Instructions
The user has to provide all the inputs highlighted in blue.
Once all inputs are provided, the spreadsheet will evaluate the maximum shear force
Limitations
Applicable for open cross sections
Cross Section is composed of line segments as shown in the figure
Each Line segment has a constant plate thickness
Shear Force to be applied at the symmetry axis in z-direction according to the figure on the right
