Experimental and numerical investigation of slamming loads on high-speed craft including hydroelastic effects

This thesis investigates the problem of slamming loads on high-speed planing craft and related global rigid body and local structural responses using numerical simulations and full-scale tests. The aim of this work is to improve the safety and efficiency of high-speed craft structural designs for re...
