Popis:	A lack of comprehensive experimental measurements of thermal stresses induced in a ship's hull structure by diurnal temperature changes prompted this study. Its essential purpose was to provide reliable prototype measurements of thermal-stress patterns around a complete transverse section of a ship. These results are compared with stresses computed by the theory of simple beams under arbitrary temperature distributions across their section. Bridge-type SR-4 strain-gage assemblies were developed for attachment directly to the structure. A variety of temperature conditions were observed and corresponding strain measurements taken. The results are consistent and give a reliable picture of thermal-stress conditions in a ship. They also verify the prediction of thermal stresses afforded by the simple-beam theory.
