... ABSTRACT A series of sloshing model tests are carried out for an IMO Type B tank of 30K LNG bunkering vessel. Experimental results show that the maximum sloshing impact load occurs at a filling level of 25%H and waves at a 90-degree angle. Lateral sloshing is likely to occur at the bottom...

... ABSTRACT The impact loads of a disk slamming into both pure and aerated water are investigated experimentally. The impact velocity of the disk (diameter = 140 mm) is 2 m/s. The pressure distribution and evolution of impact loads are recorded with the help of three mini pressure gauges...

... of Speeds Speeds were calculated at 2, 6, 10, 12 and 14 kt to cover the approximate range of operating speeds. The highest speed of 14 kt is used to show the loads that can if the ship hits a glacial ice fragment at a typical cruising speed. Other lower speeds are used to show the decrease in impact loads...

... the violent free surface motions. In the present study, the incident bore impact load and the change of longitudinal velocity component around the structure, which are obtained from the numerical simulation, are compared those from experiments by Arnason (2005). INTRODUCTION The accurate prediction...

.... It was revealed that there exist the stress concentration phenomena in the middle part of no. I cargo hold and in the forward top part of side shell plate due to the impact load in rough sea. It was concluded necessary to retain the continuity of longitudinal rigidity for the prevention of the stress...
