The paper presents an overview of studies of slamming on ship structures. This work
focuses on the hull slamming, which is one of the most important types of slamming …

This paper reviews the importance of uncertainties in hull girder loads influenced by flexible
fluid structure interactions. The focus is on developments in the field of hydroelastic …

Trimarans may suffer from large motion and strong slamming accompanied by repeated
water entry and water exit motions when sailing under severe sea conditions, and the huge …

Slamming loads and pressures on high-speed catamarans with a centre bow (CB) differ
from those on conventional catamarans with flat deck structures. The latter are well covered …

The water entry problem of wedges has attracted a great deal of research, as the V-shaped
cross-section is a typical section form of the bottom of high-speed crafts. While most …

Global loads acting on high-speed wave-piercing catamarans are investigated using
computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Catamaran vessels are subjected to load cases that …

Composite materials, lightweight and high-strength, are used in shipbuilding increasingly.
However, under high-speed operations in severe sea conditions, composite ship bows are …

Water impacts form the critical load case for high-performance carbon fibre reinforced
polymer (CFRP) racing craft. Such events produce a peaked, non-uniform pressure …

The dynamic load from slamming is an important issue for the structure integrity of a trimaran
hull. The slamming loads on a typical trimaran section, based on both experimental …

Wet-deck slamming affects the structural integrity of trimarans sailing under severe sea
conditions. In this study, a Cartesian-grid computational fluid dynamics code is adopted to …
