Investigation on Ship Collision Phenomena by Analytical and Finite Element Methods
Collision is considered as a time-depended nonlinear
dynamic phenomenon. The majority of researchers have focused on
deriving the resultant damage of the ship collisions via analytical,
experimental, and finite element methods.In this paper, first, the
force-penetration curve of a head collision on a container ship with
rigid barrier based on Yang and Pedersen-s methods for internal
mechanic section is studied. Next, the obtained results from different
analytical methods are compared with each others. Then, through a
simulation of the container ship collision in Ansys Ls-Dyna, results
from finite element approach are compared with analytical methods
and the source of errors is discussed. Finally, the effects of
parameters such as velocity, and angle of collision on the forcepenetration
curve are investigated.
