ABSTRACT
Evaluation of impact loads when a ship hull contacts the wave surface is one of the main issues for researchers who are going to design the structure of marine vehicles. In this paper, the results of experimental tests and numerical modeling of the distribution of pressure on different wedge-shaped models are reported and the effect of related parameters such as the deadrise angles, the weight and drop heights, is assessed. The output of analyses and the results can give appropriate approximations of the maximum impact pressures for the geometries that are similar to marine vehicle’s hull sections to estimate the hydrodynamic impact loads in different sea-states. In addition, other effective parameters such as the impact speed, acceleration and water entry process can be used for evaluating the performance of such crafts.
