When a ship is sailing at sea, it is subjected to various load patterns with many magnitudes which cause deformation of its structure, as well as stresses. The structural designer needs to know the hull structure load features, as accurately as possible: direction of the working load, frequency of occurrence, distribution pattern on the hull structure and behavior in the time domain, etc. The first design step is to assume exact loads acting on the structure concerned, in order to estimate the structural strength in a reasonable way and consequently to develop the design.
