Abstract
The serious consequence of ship collisions necessitates the development of regulation requirements for the subdivision and structural design of ships so that damage environmental pollution is reduced, and safety is improved.
Ship collision mechanics is classified into, external mechanics of ship mechanics and internal ship mechanics, in the external mechanics, analytical approaches are used to determine the absorbed energy acting on the vessel from the collision, while in the int mechanics, analytical approaches are used to determine the ability of the ship’s struc withstand the absorbed energy.
Many methods were introduced by scientists to determine the external and internal shi collision mechanics, but due to the rapid advance in computer hardware and algorithm Finite Element Analysis (FEA) provides an alternative to physical validation that can used to increase confidence and insight in simplified model results.
Collision data for validation of LS-DYNA software is very difficult to obtain, and testing is very costly.
In this thesis a barge is modeled striking a rigid wall at two different velocities to sim and show the behavior of the barge in collision in order to obtain stress contours alon hull of the barge and to determine the penetration versus force curve.
Increased safety concerns require improved structural crashworthiness, in particular respect to collision accidents. Structural crashworthiness can be improved, especial prevent high-energy collision accidents damages.
The thesis presents different ways of treatment for ship collision consequences acco to the cause of collision, in order to prevent or mitigate the collision consequences.
