I. LABORATORY TESTS OF SCALE MODlruS

1.. Introduction

The use of scaled models for astimation of the performance

of marine structures is so well established that no detailed justifica-

tion for the development of a reliable small-soale tasting procedure

for submarine hulls is necessary. Such 8 procedure can effer-t savings

in time, materia.l., a.nd the use of technically trained personnel. At

the same t.ime , it must be recognized that the succ,~ss of any model

program depends partly on its ability to provide information from

which full-scale performance can be predicted and pertly on its ability

to decide the rela.tive merits of e.lternative designs. Work unier the

program reported here has been directed toward t70 objectives:

(A) How small a scale can be used in the model without

losing reproducibility of structural behavio~?

(B) What criteria can be used to establish 8 figura-of~

merit for alternative designs of pressure hull, stiffeners and cuter

. hull?

In connection with these objectives work has been directed along the

-following lines:

(A) Static and dynamic laboratory tests of modal sectionsQ

(B) Structural ana.lysis of simplified hull repre3entations~

(C) Estimation of the loading of a submerged cylinder by

interaction with the effects of an underwater explosionn

The work described in this report is a preliminary approach

to the objectives of the prograro u It covers a part of the activities

under Contract N6onr-01l32. Work has been carried out in the Structural

Research Laboratory, Department of Civil Engineering, University of

Illinois, over the period 1 February 1951 to 1 October 1951~

The unknown factors in the effects of submerged structures of

very large explosions are so many and so important that the development

a.t this time of e. laboratory test which will "model" prototype conditions

cannot be oontemplated. On the other hand, a d~~ic model test intended

to produoe structural failure does not require that the time-dependence

of the impulsive forces be sealed exactly, so long as the dynamic test load­

ing has the same general charaoteristics as that which acts en the proto­

type. The extent of the prototype duplicatad (struoturally) ne~d be large

only oompared ~Bith the extent ot the structurally damaged submarine hull.

In attacking the problem of determining the limiting scale factor, it was

decided to start with test specimens which were soaled segments of ths

submarine hul1~ Approximately a 60 degreo segment was chosen for a

standard tast specimenD Such a specimen is relatively easy to test both

sta.tic.ally aI1.d dynamica,llyo Moreove:::.", a single concentrated load at the

center of such a segment gives a representation of the behavior of 8 fairly

well distributed load over a la.rger segment, or even 8. complete ringo With

the latter type of speciman, one is faced with the difficul"ty of a.pplying

simultaneously or with definite time phases, a series of rad"ial loads,)

Although sever::.l complete rings may B'IJ'0ntually have to be tasted.., it seemed

wiser to start with the simpler problemo

2., Static T~sts

The primary purpose of the static tests is the quantitative

determination of some of the paramete~s whioh are needed in the development

of 8 suitable dyr~mic testing prooedurso

For preliminary tests a number of 1/8-scale semi-dam3.gad

caissons ware obtained from the Underwater Explosions Research

Division (UERO) at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard. Specimens from these

caissons were used in the preliminary static tests and will also be

used in establishing a dynamic testing procedurso

Two preliminary static tests have been run to date

(1 October 1951). In the first test (Specimen 1 Static), a 90

degree segment was chosen, but this was modified in the second

static test to a 60 degree specimen.

Specimen 1 Static.

This specimen consisted of a 90 degree segment ta.ken from

an end section of one of the UERD 1/8-scale caissons. The specimen

was 9 in. wide with the two stiffeners 4 in. apart and centered on

the specimen (edge distance of 2~1/2 in.). The shell was 5/32 in.

MoSo plate with 00281 in. by 0 .. 75 in. HTS bar stiffeners welded to

the shell.

In this first test a combination roller-hinge reaction was

used at both ends, the horizontal reactions being measured by two

calibrated tie bars. The specimen was essentially a tied arch, "the

tie being a structural replacement for the remainder of the hull

segment. A single centra.l concentrated load was applied to the '5tiff~

eners through a loading bar laid across the top of the stiffenerso

The test set-up is shown in Fig" l~l.

The instrumentation included:

1. SR-4 electric resistance strain gages mounted at

various points on the plate and stiffeners, and used "also to measure the

load in the tia-rodso

2. Two ro~s of Ames dials at 10 deg. and 30 degQ from

the vertical. These dials ware moved transversely to pick up the

plate deflectionso

3. A series of 35 mmo photographs taken before, during

and ~~ter the taste These were used (somewhat unsuccessfully) to

compute a load-defleotion ourve for the load point~

4q Stresscoat was applied on the top and bottom of

one-half of the specimen. This yielded no information of value~

An elastic arch analysis made before the test predioted

very aocurately the load at whioh first yielding occurred (for this

test at a load of approximately 4,000 lb~). Initial yielding bege.n

under the load points at the top of the stiffeners.

The redie.l defleotions as measured with the Ames dials

showed that the pls-te had a tendency to bulge upwards during the testo:!

This affeot is illustrated in one of the figures of Specimen 2 Statico

Tne ultimate load carried by this sepcimen was 17,200 lb.

Figure 1--2 shows the deflected shape of the specimen at a

load of 11,400 lb., after it had passed the ultimate load o As is

seen in the figure~ the specimen failed in an unsymmetrical shapso

This was prime,rily the result of two factors;-the specimen was slightly

out of round since it came from a. semi·=>de.ma.gad caisson, and -the load

was not applied exactly at the cantero The spherical loading block

allowad the loading system to rotate and thus accentuated the failurso

Directly under the loading block the stiffener buckled

slightlyo

Considera.ble difficulty was experienced with the end sup­

ports and the spherical loading block during this testo These oondi-,

tions were improved for the seoond and more elaborate static testo

Specimen 2 Statico

Originally it had been thought that it might be desirable

to test specimens with two radial, concentrated loads. An invastiga-

tion'showed that this would be difficult and expensive. It was

decided that a single concentrated load would be applied to a spec i-

men trade of a 60 degree segment. Specimen 2 ... sta.tic was obtained from

the relatively undamaged portion of one of the liB-scale UERD caissons~

The specimen was 9 in. wide with a 4-1/2 in. stiffener spacing, thus

allowing a 2-1/4 in. overhang on each side. A new type of end

reaction_which, it was feltj could easily be modified for the 15te~

dynamic tests was designed a~d used~ The specimen, as fabricated,

actually subtended en arc of 68 degrees between centers of pins~ In

this test, as in the first test,. tie rods were used to maas~re the

horizontal reactions~ 'rhese tie rods were one of the major sources

of difficulty, a.s will be pointed out la.ter.. The instrumentation

used on this specimen included:

l~ Two Ames dials, one mounted under ~he load point

of each stiffener to meesure the cenier deflection.

2~ Two Ames dials, one at each end, for measuring

the ~orizontal movement of the ends of the specimen. The~e dials

were in linG with the stiffener on which horizontal and vertical

def13ctions ware being measured at five different pointso

)0 A drum reco~d8r mounted on the 120,000 loo

hydraulic ffiBcnina which automatically recorded a load-deflection

1. Introduction -

The purpos~ of static tests CD. hull segment-'X:Qdels is to

obtain numerical values of f~ndamental physical par~t~rs needed

in the dynamic tests" The purpose~:f the static analysis has been

to make possible t,he computation of these Q.uantities from the experi-

ment.al data ..

Tests were ,conducted by applying essentially Gon~entrated

The hull segment has baen considered to have elasticity concentrated

8t a number of points (5 in the example worked out in this section)

rather than distributed throughout the structurs. This device is one

which can later be employed for dynamic analysis. The advantagas of

having the principles of the static analysis coincide with tho3e to

be employed in later investigations seem great enough to justify what

would otherwise be an unneoessary idealization.
