چکیده
Since the rubber units are mostly standardized in the industry, the real engineering and, design challenge is with the steel panels, chains and the corresponding anchorage. The rubber unit is a crucial component of the system, but is only as good as the overall design of the system. SFT has inspected numerous systems of even reputable fender manufacturer, that showed signs of premature failures due to incorrect designs. Simple issues like incorrect chain angles or the positioning of the rubber unit on the steel panel and substructure leads to weight introduction into the rubber unit, dropping of the system and premature failure of the fender system as a whole. Inexperienced clients and fender suppliers typically point fingers immediately at the rubber unit. In a lot of cases however, it’s not the rubber unit that causes the problem, it’s the design that leads to failures of the rubber unit. When fenders fail or are not working properly due to low quality or incorrect designs, then there is a cost to the port in terms of repair, downtime, Fender SyStemS – A holiStic ApproAch

Comparative Study of Design Berthing Energy on Fender as per Indian Standard IS4651 Part-3:1974 and British Standard BS6349 Part-4:1994
Berthing force is a critical dynamic lateral force in the design of berthing structures, having equal relevance when compared to seismic forces. Besides, the construction cost of berthing structures is very high which can be optimized by calculating precise design berthing energy on fender and selecting optimum fender system. In the present study, design berthing energy of bulk carriers having ...

متن کاملFender design and insulation of farrowing huts: effects on performance of outdoor sows and piglets.
Two studies assessed sow and litter performance when design features of farrowing huts varied. A fender is a structure that extends out the front of the hut to create a veranda that prevents young piglets from leaving. In Exp. 1, 206 lactating sows and their litters were used to assess litter performance and the time required to process litters for two fender designs (short wooden [WS] vs. tall...
