Probability and Mechanics of Ship Collision and Grounding

Ship collision and grounding events constitute a major hazard for ship operations and ship collision risk analyses have to be carried out for installations such as: offshore structures for extraction of hydrocarbons, offshore wind farms, and bridges spanning waterways. Probability and Mechanics of Ship Collision and Grounding, provides simplified analytical procedures for ship collision and grounding assessments and includes probabilistic methods for collision and grounding risk assessment, estimation of the energy released during collisions, and prediction of the extent of damage on the involved structures. An additional chapter is dedicated to the current finite element analysis techniques used for estimating structural damage during ship collisions. The main feature of the book is that it encapsulates reliable and fast analysis methods for collision and grounding assessment and the methods have been extensively validated with experimental and numerical results. In addition, all the described analysis methods include realistic calculation examples so that to provide confidence in their use to eventually conduct the required assessment according to rules and design codes. Provides mathematical expressions for the determination of probability of ship grounding events, ship to ship collisions and ship collisions against fixed and floating offshore installations, i.e., offshore wind parks and bridges over navigational channelsProvides analytical solutions to calculate the energy released for crushing in ship collision scenarios and loading on ship bottoms in grounding eventsReviews damage theorems and materials modellings and presents simplified analytical methods to determine the structural damage of ship and offshore structures in ship collisions and groundingProvides calculation examples for each analysis method INDICE: 1.
