Dynamic response of ship structures to impact loads

In this study the dynamic response of a ship structure to impact loads is investigated. The ship motion is fully three-dimensional and the ship structure is modeled as a three-dimensional elastic beam. Finite element methods are used to digitize the equations of motion of the system. The forces on t...
