Abstract
The dynamic analysis of the elastic response of marine structures to intense, localized, transient, hydrodynamic impact loads is important in the design of marine vessels. A dry and wet dynamic analysis of vibration of a square Kirchhoff’ s plate is presented. The dry and wet natural frequencies and modeshapes of the plate have been evaluated by Galerkin’s method. The transient loads are of two kinds: a uniform stretching load and a hydrodynamic impact load (at different deadrise angles). The stretching load sets the plate into small-amplitude high-frequency vibrations. The computationally efficient normal mode analysis has been used to evaluate the dynamic deflections. Three different boundary conditions of the plate have been used. The response of the plate to these loads has been investigated for a wide range of impact speeds and material properties. The response characteristics have been established, namely (a) maximum deflection, (b) maximum dynamic overshoot relative to the static deflection, (c) quasi-static and dynamic zones of the response over the range of time-scales. The dependency of these characteristics on parameters like the deadrise angles, damping ratios, boundary conditions and forcing configurations have also been studied, to aid the designer. A separate study of the modal participation factor is used to establish modal truncation limits for the analysis, with subsequent increases in the computational efficiency.
