Hydroelasticity of ships has been established as a necessary form of investigation for both
slender ships and high-speed craft. Experimental investigations have spanned various …

The nonlinear vertical responses of a containership advancing in regular waves are
investigated experimentally. The paper presents the results of an experimental program …

A two-way fluid structure interaction (FSI) of CFD–FEA numerical method is adopted to
predict ship motions, wave loads and hydroelastic responses in regular waves. In the FSI …

A strip theory based partially nonlinear time domain code is extended to include body
nonlinearity in the calculation of radiation and diffraction forces, which expresses the …

In this paper, wave-induced motions and loads of a bow flare ship advancing in harsh
irregular waves are investigated both numerically and experimentally. A 3D time-domain …

A method to compute structural loads on surface ships coupling a CFD solver with rigid or
elastic representations of the ship hull is presented. One-way and two-way coupling …

Recent studies have benchmarked the prediction of the wave vertical bending moment
(VBM) of ships in waves and found significant scatter among the numerical codes. A long …

Slamming loads on the stern of a chemical tanker are predicted by using an Arbitrary
Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) algorithm implemented in LS-DYNA and a Modified …

The study reported in this paper is focused on experimental investigation of the hull girder
loads on an intact and damaged naval ship DTMB 5415 at zero speed. The experimental …

The paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of the nonlinear effects on
the vertical motions and loads on a containership model advancing in irregular waves. The …
