The marine industry in general and the American Bureau of Shipping in particular have turned to the extensive use of computers for the solution of the problems encountered in the design, analysis and construction of ships and other marine structures. Mathematical solution techniques have been available for some time, but the complexity of the necessary calculations precluded their use. The advent of electronic digital computers with their powerful, constantly expanding "number-crunching" capabilities has bridged this gap, leading to the application and further expansion of available techniques. The most useful and usable tool is the finite element method, which has found widespread use and has been extensively applied for structural, dynamic and thermal analyses of marine structures, ranging from entire vessels to local structural details. Descriptions and examples of such analyses are given in the paper. Other facets of computer versatility applicable to and used by the industry include conversational programs, naval architecture programs, computer graphics and information retrieval. These subjects are presented and discussed in the paper. Looking ahead, future trends of computer applications in the industry are mentioned.
