Numerical calculations of behaviour of ship double-bottom structure during grounding

Abstract

The idea of the CORET project consists in adding, to the existing construction, special polymer-concrete coatings intended for the increasing of ship’s capability against losing structural tightness during collision or grounding. In order to correctly design the protective barriers, to perform relevant numerical simulations is necessary. The elaborating of numerical models of ship structure behaviour during collision is very complicated and requires auxiliary simulations (on submodels) to be performed. This paper is devoted to elaborating a numerical model of a fragment of ship double-bottom structure. On the basis of experimental tests it was possible to verify and calibrate the numerical model which may be used in further design work aimed at the increasing of crashworthiness of structure during collision.
