Influence of localized pit distribution and bench-shaped pits on the ultimate compressive strength of steel plating for shipping
Influence of localized pit distribution and bench-shaped pits on the ultimate compressive strength of steel plating for shipping
This work has developed numerical models simulating steel plate corrosion degradation and presents a series of novel finite element modeling to assess the influence of localized pit distribution and bench-shaped pits, which are often observed in long-term exposures. Four location patterns of one-sided corroded shipping steel plates have been considered, which include both geometric and material non-linearities. Validation of the modeling method is achieved by a thermoelastic stress analysis, which provides the principal stress distribution over the plate surface. The modeling results demonstrate that the frequently detected localized corrosion may reduce the ultimate strength by up to 20% compared to uniformly corroded plate. In addition, bench-shaped pits may further decrease the ultimate strength by up to 14% compared to the no-bench condition with the same degree of pitting.

Abstract
This work has developed numerical models simulating steel plate corrosion degradation and presents a series of novel finite element modeling to assess the influence of localized pit distribution and bench-shaped pits, which are often observed in long-term exposures. Four location patterns of one-sided corroded shipping steel plates have been considered, which include both geometric and material non-linearities. Validation of the modeling method is achieved by a thermoelastic stress analysis, which provides the principal stress distribution over the plate surface. The modeling results demonstrate that the frequently detected localized corrosion may reduce the ultimate strength by up to 20% compared to uniformly corroded plate. In addition, bench-shaped pits may further decrease the ultimate strength by up to 14% compared to the no-bench condition with the same degree of pitting.
