A Modelling of Springing, Whipping and Slamming for Ships
نویسندگان
چکیده
The slamming phenomenon is a violent impact of the hull of a ship on the free surface of the sea. This loading case is particularly difficult to modelize for several reasons: first of all, the wet surface of the hull is an unknown; then a coupling with the springing (flexibility of the ship) is very complex and finally the interaction with the waves (even if the eigenfrequencies of the structure and the one of the waves are very different) which can be at the origin of important damage mechanisms, involves pointwise effects. This paper aims at giving a simple mathematical model which enables one to simulate the full coupling between these phenomena.

Results of analytical modeling and computer simulation of wave-induced structural loadings on ships i!lwaves is presented! with consideration ~f bow flare slamming, bottom impact slamming, and springing. Consideration is given only to the case of head seas, and the outputs are obtained in the form of time histories due to the nature of the nonllnearities and the nonstationary propert~es associa...
متن کاملFatigue of Maritime Structures – A Wider View
Maritime structures were traditionally designed for static maximum loads (design loads). However, ship and offshore structures are very much subject to dynamic loads, coming from, Fig.1: propellers and diesel engines excite elastic vibrations in local structures. The number of load cycles is usually much higher than for those due to seaways. Seaways excite local changing pressures. Typical freq...

This paper focuses on the investigation carried out on the failure of the MSC Napoli using two-dimensional (2D) symmetric (i.e. vertical bending) hydroelasticity analysis. The aim of the investigation was to assess the influence of whipping-induced loads on the structural strength of this containership. Relevant structural, hydrostatic and operational data were provided. The calculations were c...
متن کاملChallenges in Hydrodynamics of Ships and Ocean Structures
Violent fluid motions, high speed marine vehicles and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) are selected as main topics. Violent fluid motions deal with green water on deck, sloshing and slamming. Slamming involves many physical effects. When analyzing slamming, one must always have the structural reaction in mind. This necessitates that hydroelastic effects are considered. Many hydrodynamic pheno...
متن کاملSlamming of ships: where are we now?
Literature published on the problem of ship slamming in waves is reviewed from the point of view of someone working at a ship research institute. Such an institute is confronted with rather practical questions regarding the acceptability of certain design parameters such as the acceptable amount of bow flare angle for use at sea. The importance of these questions is illustrated by noting that a...
