Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): The goal of this thesis was to study the possibilities of modelling external dynamics of a ship collision using explicit finite element code LS-DYNA.
LS-DYNA is widely used for studying inner mechanics of ship collisions, but has not been used for simulating external dynamics.
Inner mechanics deals with the behaviour of structures in a collision, external dynamics concentrates on the motions of the colliding vessels.
The proposed model enables to calculate external dynamics and inner mechanics in the same simulation run.

The motions of the ships are constrained to the horizontal plane.
Gravity, buoyancy and restoring forces were excluded from the model as was hydrodynamic damping.
Emphasis was on modelling masses and inertia of the colliding ships in order to achieve accurate results for contact force.
The striking ship was modelled as a rigid bulb with attached mass points.
Structure of the struck ship in the collision area was modelled in detail, the other regions of the vessel were also modelled using properly placed mass points.
Hydrodynamic added masses were modelled in a way that they are activated only in certain directions.

The results of the LS-DYNA model were validated with data from model-scale collision experiments.
Three collision cases were investigated.
First, a symmetric collision at right angle, second an eccentric collision at right angle and finally an eccentric collision at inclined angle.
Results of all three simulation cases showed good agreement with model test data, which implies that the model is valid.
