Experimental study of slam-induced stresses in a containership

摘要

Experients for the ship motions an sea loads were carried out on a segmented model of a container ship in ballast condition. Comparisons between the measurements and the theoret- ical results were carried out for the vertical motions and bending moments. For the evaluation of the primary stresses it is assumed that the total vertical bending moment induced by waves is divided into one component obtained by the linear theory and another one is due to the slamming loads.
