Abstract
This article evaluates the structural
response of a sandwich ship hull with T-joint
longitudinal stiffeners subjected to water slamming.
Finite element analysis was conducted using the
commercial code LS-DYNA. The T-joint stiffeners
were modeled as linear elastic springs allowing the
vertical displacement and rotation at the panel
ends. Three different stiffnesses and two impact
velocities were considered. Results showed to be
significantly different from the fixed-supported
panel case.
