BOW FLARE DAMAGES OF LARGE FULL SHIPS DUE TO WAVE IMPACT

In this report, wave impact on the bow of a ship is analyzed by classifying the phenomenon into two types: one concerned with the impact of the bow with the surface of water (impact of Wagner type), and the other originated from the impact of the bow with a breaker (impact of Bagnold type). Computation formulas both for the pressure and for the design of shell plate at the bow were established upon the basis of the data of actual damages. The design standard presented here is, as stated before, a tentative criterion set up according to the experiences of damages. It might be appropriate to add in conclusion that for certain kinds of ships, however, there may be room for modifications to be introduced in some of numerical values in the standard.
