The ship experiences various stresses from forces both inside and outside the vessel. Static forces include the weight of the ship's structure and cargo as well as external hydrostatic pressure. Dynamic forces arise from the ship's motion in waves and winds and from operating machinery. These forces produce global stresses across the entire ship and local stresses in specific areas. Common types of stress include hogging, sagging, racking, torsion, and stresses from water pressure, dry-docking, and pounding. Localized stresses also occur due to concentrated loads. Proper design is needed to withstand these stresses.
