The bow flare slamming load was studied by using the software Ls-dyna. A coupling finite element model including air, water and 3d established. Flare pressure picked up from in order to discuss relation between velocity as well distribution rule of different entry angle along length height ship.

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 structur...

It was thus that Mrs. G. saw Albert when she stepped into our living room for the first time, early one June afternoon. Two steps led down from the wide doorway, through from the hall into the long room. Mrs. G. stood?I should say loomed? the open doorway at the top of the two steps. She was big,?a Woman of tremendous physique, a Viking woman. Indeed, at times, she called herself a Scandinavian...

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...
