Development of Requirements to Safeguard Large Container Ships from the Effects of Bow Flare Slamming

Research on multi-interval coupling optimization of vessel speed for energy efficiency

“…It is defined as the CO2 emission value of the unit transport turnover of the ship, which is the most representative indicator of the ship operating energy efficiency. EEOI formula for a single voyage is as follows [26] :…”

Equivalent design pressure for ship plates subjected to moving slamming impact loads

“…When a ship sails in high waves, it often encounters wave slamming impacts which may cause permanent plate deflections and even lead to severe maritime accidents. Zhu [1] summarized the common slamming damage patterns and damage position based on the damage database in Lloyd's Register class. Due to its practical importance, slamming research has attracted the attention of researchers worldwide.…”

“…Hence, a factor dependent upon the local section shape, known as the slamming pressure coefficient, is required to calculate the slamming pressure. The pressure coefficients can be obtained from drop tests [15][16][17][18][19][20], seakeeping model tests and full scale trials, each with its own merits [1]. For wedge impact problems, the slamming pressure coefficient has been obtained from Wagner's model [3] and other theoretical work [21][22].…”
