Finite element analysis and optimization of foam filled fender under quasi static and dynamic responses
Mainly composed of elastic materials, ship fenders are utilised on all kinds of vessels for the protection of berthing structures and the prevention of damage due to heavy crash loads. This study aims to enhance deformation mode and crash performance of foam-filled fenders under quasi-static and dyn...
