Design of Mooring Fittings of Ship Epqipment by Using The Finite Element Method

Mooring and Towing Fittings mean various devices and fittings to safely fasten vessels to quays, jetties, sea- floating buoys. etc. They include devices such as mooing winches and capstans, fitting such as chocks, fairleads, guide rollers, bollards, and bitts, and the seats and reinforced parts of vessels such fittings are installed. They also include ropes and chains used for mooring and chain stoppers that secure chains to vessels. Because of damage to mooring fittings during mooring directly related to large-scale accidents such as the drifting of vessels, mooring fittings with strength appropriate for the physical features of the vessels must be installed. The reinforcement of the vessels on which the mooring fittings are installed must be designed to withstand the loads transferred from the fittings as well. Also Mooring fittings with efficient strength are required because damaged ships lead to sea pollution such as oil or fuel oil spillage. The purpose of this study is to suggest the standardization model for strength analysis of the closed chocks by using the Finite Elements Method and Equipment Test.
