Global Hydroelastic Response of Catamarans Due to Wetdeck Slamming

Transient hydroelastic analysis of sandwich beams subjected to slamming in water

This work deals with the transient hydroelastic analysis of a sandwich beam which represents a boat hull. The beam is subjected to slamming pressure while it enters into water with constant vertically downward velocity. A coupled hydroelastic finite element model is developed using higher order shear and normal deformation theories for the faces and the core of the beam and the velocity potenti...

Delamination in sandwich panels due to local water slamming loads

We study delamination in a sandwich panel due to transient finite plane strain elastic deformations caused by local water slamming loads and use the boundary element method to analyze motion of water and the finite element method to determine deformations of the panel. The cohesive zone model is used to study delamination initiation and propagation. The fluid is assumed to be incompressible and...

Hydroelastic response of a floating runway to cnoidal waves

The hydroelastic response of mat-type Very Large Floating Structures (VLFSs) to severe sea conditions, such as tsunamis and hurricanes, must be assessed for safety and survivability. An efficient and robust nonlinear hydroelastic model is required to predict accurately the motion of and the dynamic loads on a VLFS due to such large waves. We develop a nonlinear theory to predict the hydroelasti...

بررسی تاثیر هیدروالاستیسیته در مدل سازی عددی کوبش

In the present study the slamming problem is simulated by numerical methods for investigating the hydroelastic effect during the slamming process. Slamming with two viewpoints of rigid and elastic structures (hydroelastic effect) had been modeled. Due to high impact speed of slamming, inertial and kinematic effects are quite evident in hydroelastic model. The results showed that considering hyd...
