DEVELOPMENT OF SHIP LOADING VALUES (BOW IN COLLISION), TASK VIII

With formulations collected by K. Reckling the collapsing resistance of the OBO TARIM's Model Bow was calculated for several stages of penetration. In collision test no. 9 performed by the German Nuclear Research Institute (GKSS) the overall penetration for a known impact energy was known: This is compared with the area under the curve of impact forces calculated at several points during penetration. The work so calculated was found to be 39% less than the energy spent in the test. Possible explanations for this discrepancy are given.
