| Abstract | Since the inception of the composite materials in the field of marine applications, there has been an ever increasing demand for more cost efficient, and low weigh t composite structures. This has lead to a drastic reduction in the amount of material used, which r endered these structures deformable especially under severe loading conditions like slamming w ave impact [1]. Slamming loads are characterised by large local pressures, which last for very shor t durations of time and move very fast along the surface of the structure [2]. Deformation of the st ructure dampens the pressure intensity on the surface of the structure [3]. In this study, the respon e behaviour of deformable composite structures subjected to slamming loads has been studied usi ng the existing numerical methods for Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) and free surface flows si nce slamming loads are generally observed in marine applications. Numerical simulations have been do ne using both implicit and explicit codes. Coupling codes include both commercial and in-house codes. Initially, results of the numerical models are validated using the rigid body slamming studies that are already existing and the same numerical models have been used for studying the behaviour of the defor mable composite structures. |
