An analytical method for predicting the structural response of ship side structures by bulbous bow in oblique collision scenarios

As more and more ships sail on the sea, the probability of collision between ships also increases. At present, researches more on head-on ship collisions than oblique ship collisions. According to statistical data, the probability of oblique ship collision is higher than that of head-on ship collision, and oblique ship collision may cause a wider range of structural damage. Therefore, this paper studies the damage deformation of ship side structures in oblique collision scenarios. In this paper, a simplified analysis method is proposed to predict the structural response of the struck ship’s side structures by bulbous bow in oblique collision scenarios and the analytical results match well with the numerical simulation results, which verifies the accuracy of the simplified analysis method. The simplified analysis method can be used to assess the crashworthiness of ship side structures by bulbous bow in oblique collision scenarios.
