Such networks may include ship-to-shore, ship-to-ship, ground-to-aircraft, and aircraft-to-aircraft links.
Ship grounding is a hazard which requires enormous caution when occurs.
An investigation is carried out in this paper for the predictions of structural performance of double-bottom tankers during ship grounding over the "shoal" type seabed obstacles.
On the other hand, naval architects and ship designers are interested in developing design codes and structural assessments due to slamming loads, liquid sloshing impact loads in liquefied natural gas tanks and ship grounding accidents.
The experiments include scaled collision tests of a T cross-section beam, head-on collision of an oil tanker against a rigid wall, ship grounding and collision between two oil tankers.
