Hydro-plastic response of beams and stiffened panels subjected to extreme water slamming at small impact angles, part II: Numerical verification and analysis

An analytical model has been proposed for the response of beams and stiffened panels subjected to extreme flat or nearly flat water impacts in Part I of the two-part companion paper. The model aims to capture the significant hydro-plastic coupling between large plastic structural deformations and the hydrodynamic pressure. Governing non-dimensional parameters for the hydro plastic slamming phenomenon were identified and discussed.
