A Study on Velocity Factor Determination Test of Pneumatic Fenders and its Application

空気式防舷材の速度ファクター算出および適用に関する研究

The pneumatic fender roles an energy absorber and spacer purpose for safe ship berthing and mooring in the usage of ship-to-jetty in harbor basin and ship-to-ship oil and gases transfer operations at offshore. In this paper, the velocity factor in performance and its determination procedures are demonstrated by conducting dynamic and static compression tests based on the guideline: 2002 of PIANC. The scale modeling in velocity factor has been clarified for the pneumatic fenders by the compression tests, and the property of the velocity factor has been investigated.
