N2 - Fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) composites used for high-speed
vessels have lower modulus of elasticity than the conventionally
used steels.Therefore, for large fast ships the lowest natural
frequencies of the global hull modes can be relatively low
compared to the frequency of waveencounter. As part of the NoKoS
project it was decided to investigate the effect of hull
flexibility on the wave-induced as well as accidental structural
loads on high-speed ships.Especially it was decided to determine
whether there is an upper size of FRP and aluminium mono-hulls
caused by continuous wave action,slamming and impulsive loads due
to grounding.
