Abstract

Due to the asymmetric water entry over a submerged part of a ship, the effect of the hydrodynamic impact on the dynamic response of a plate structure is investigated numerically by employing an orthogonal plate theory. The effect is found significant in the calculation. Both the deflection and the stress in the plate increase as the asymmetric degree under water entry of a bottom structure increases. Because of the structural dynamic effect, the maximum deflection at a heel angle of 20 degrees becomes about 50% more than that of the quasi-static approach, and the maximum stress in ydirection 40% more than that of the quasi-state approach. The result of the present work proves the importance of asymmetrical hydrodynamic impact loading for structural design of a ship.
