Abstract
The results summarized in this paper represent the work of SNAME
Ad Hoc Panel #6 convened under the SNAME Technical and Research
Program. This is a summary and overview paper. Topics discussed
will be addressed individually and in more detail in later
publications. The 2nd International Conference on Collision and
Grounding of Ships, to be held in Copenhagen, July 1-3,2001, will
also present and discuss many of the results of this panel and
other related research. The paper discusses four primary areas of
panel work: collision and grounding models, data, accident
scenarios and design applications. A probabilistic framework for
assessing the crashworthiness of ships is presented. Results
obtained from various grounding and collision models are compared
to validating cases and to each other. Data necessary for proper
model validation and probabilistic accident scenario development
are identified. Deformable striking-ship bow models and their
application are described. Potential design applications and
alternatives for improving crashworthiness are discussed.
