Effect of Ultra-Lightweight High-Ductility Cementitious Composite in Steel–Concrete–Steel (SCS) Plate to Mitigate Ship Slamming Loads
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- How efficient is the CEL method to numerically study FSI in a large-scale ship model in Abaqus software?
- How much does SCS composite plate mitigate the local damage due to the bottom slamming loads compared to only the common steel plate?
- Is SCS composite plate useful in damping slamming load energy to impede the transference of local strain from the ship’s outer layer to the inner one?
- Determining the critical parameters that affect the structural performance of ships containing SCS composite plates.

4. Conclusions
- Using the CEL method in Abaqus was efficient in numerically modelling FSI interaction in the complex slamming loading phenomenon. Moreover, this method was reliable when numerically studying a large-scale ship against bottom impact loading due to the slamming loading phenomenon, so that a minor deviation of 6.5% was found between the numerical model and experimental result.
- The numerical results showed that strain at the front part of the ship’s structure before the bow of the tip of the hull had the highest value and therefore should be considered as a critical zone to be strengthened by novel methods.
- It can be deduced from the findings that using an SCS plate containing novel cementitious composite in the ship body considerably reduced the maximum strain value to mitigate the slamming loads.
- The results indicated that SCS composite plates using ultra-lightweight high-ductility cementitious composite causes practical damping in reducing transferring strain from the outer layer to the inner part of the ship body.
- The statistical results in the present study also showed that impact velocity, plate weight, and steel stiffness critically influence the ship body’s response to the bottom slamming loads.
