Abstract A 3D water entry of a typical bow model of River-to-Sea ship is studied experimentally. A large number of systematic experiments have been performed for the bow model with different pitch angles. Considering various pitch angles and impact velocities in the model tests, the slamming pressure distributions on the bottom of the bow are presented and discussed. The measured slamming pressures on the bow are identified in terms of the maximum slamming coefficient. The effects of the pitch angle and impact velocity on slamming pressure are discussed as well, based on the experimental measurements. It is shown that the slamming load on the bottom of the model increases as the pitch angle decreases in most cases. With a higher impact velocity, the coefficient of the maximum slamming pressure is smaller for most of the tested cases.

The study of water entry cavity and the analysis of load characteristics are hot topics in water entry research. The coupled Euler–Lagrange method is used to carry out simulation research on the water entry process of a cylinder. Aiming at the water vapor mixing phenomenon caused by structure slamming on the water at the initial time of water entry, the slamming load is further studied by correcting the sound speed in the water. The differences between the calculated results obtained by adjusting the number of units in the numerical simulation prove the convergence of the numerical method. Water entry experiments of a cylinder were carried out, and the results are in good agreement with the simulation data. The motion state simulation and analysis are carried out for the process of water entry with different initial speeds and angles. The changes in the structure’s positions, air cavities, and slamming loads are obtained. The rule of slamming pressure with the water entry angle and the relationship between pressure and acceleration are determined.

ZusammenfassungAltersbedingte Osteoporose erhöht des Frakturrisiko. Übliche Diagnoseverfahren basieren auf DXA. Leider sind diese ungenau und erklären oft nicht die Effekte von Behandlungen. Eine neue Methode zur Bestimmung der Knochenfestigkeit beginnt derzeit, sich zu etablieren – die Finite-Elemente-Methode (FEM). Diese universelle, im Bereich der Technik weit verbreitete, Methode erlaubt es, die Diagnose und den Behandlungserfolg besser vorauszusagen als DXA. CT-basierende FEModelle sind stark von der Bildauflösung abhängig. In diesem Überblicksartikel werden drei unterschiedliche Modelltypen (μCT, HRpQCT, QCT) vorgestellt und die Ergebnisse von densitometrischen und FE-Analysen verglichen. Dabei waren die FE-Ergebnisse den densitometrischen immer überlegen. Darüber hinaus erlaubt die FEM die Angabe eines biomechanischen Frakturrisikos. Dieser Vorteil der FE-Methode muss jedoch im Licht der höheren Röntgendosen und Betriebskosten der CT-Bildgebung betrachtet werden. Zukünftig wird die FE-Methode klinisch eine weite Verbreitung finden – die Frage ist nur wann und wie!
