Simulation of damage process of containership's side structure due to collision with a rock

This paper presents methods and results of a simplified numerical simulation of collision process of containership's side structure and a rock. Analysis of results of the modeling makes it possible to draw conclusions as to a character of the event as well as to estimate area and depth of damage caused by the penetrating rock, in order to select geometry of a filler and impermeable layer of 2^nd protection barrier.
