FULL-SCALE SLAMMING TESTS ON LANDING CRAFT LCP-L MK4

Abstract

Pressures along the hull bottom of a 36-ft landing craft, LCP-L MK 4, were measured for a series of speeds and headings in a heavy seaway. The peak slam pressures at selected positions along the hull bottom, as a function of forward speed and heading relative to the waves, are presented. Tests were made in an effort to establish a correlation between full-scale and small-scale slamming studies. (Author)
