This paper reviews the most recent models for description of the anisotropic plastic behavior
and formability of sheet metals. After a brief review of classic isotropic yield functions, recent …

It is the purpose of the paper to present a review of prediction and analysis tools for collision
and grounding analyses and to outline a probabilistic procedure for which these tools can …

Simulations of the collision response of three different ship side structures are performed
using the finite element method. The aim is to obtain a force–penetration curve based on the …

Ship collisions and grounding of tankers continue to occur regardless of continuous efforts to
prevent such accidents and their inherent potential danger to provoke oil spill environment …

Digital image correlation (DIC) analysis methods can provide very accurate strain
measurement that is useful for identifying the onset of localized necking and thus …

This paper presents a benchmark study on collision simulations that was initiated by the
MARSTRUCT Virtual Institute. The objective was to compare assumptions, finite element …

This paper discusses the fracture response in a collision scenario together with the
discretization of the model, and it compares various approaches suggested by current …

Energy absorbing structures like sandwich plate structure (SPS) are lightweight, fuel
economical and environmentally friendly for lightweight ship design. Aimed to improve …

Nonlinear numerical simulation has become an important tool for analysing dynamic
responses and energy dissipation of structures during ship collision and grounding …

This study presents a comparison between nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) and the
Smith method of Fujikubo et al.(2012). The objective was to compare the accuracy and …
