dc.description.abstract | The behavior of the Bressan-Williams-Hill fracture criterion (BWH), which is often used in
simulating ship collisions, was studied by modeling and studying existing experiments done
on the subject. Three experiments are evaluated with the BWH criterion using both the
middle integration point, as originally intended, and the first integration point through the
thickness. A mesh scaling technique is also used and evaluated for both cases.
Numerical models are made for two of the experiments chosen, while the last model was
received. All models are compared to the existing experiments, mainly by comparing the
force-displacement curves.
The BWH criterion showed acceptable results for most of the cases, but was more conservative than initially expected. Using the first integration point instead of the middle, gives even more conservative results for these cases. The mesh scaling technique shows overall satisfactory results. | en |
