摘要

The hull structure may collapse or deform severely under fire conditions. In this study, the safety of a ship’s cabin structure under fire is evaluated using a dual-zone large eddy fire scenario simulation method and a sequential thermo-mechanical coupling analysis method. Taking a three-compartment section of a naval surface ship as a case study, a machinery room fire scenario was simulated and the fire temperature field was analyzed. Through a dedicated data interface, the full-field time-varying temperature loads were mapped to the finite element model of the compartment section, thereby achieving thermo-mechanical coupled analysis of the cabin structure. The effects of thermal expansion on the hull structure under rising fire temperatures were considered in the evaluation of the residual load-bearing capacity of the cabin. The results indicate that the residual load-bearing capacity of the compartment is closely linked to the fire development stage. Temperature not only significantly affects the mechanical properties of steel but also influences the structural load-bearing capacity through thermally stresses.
