Development of a Method for Computing Wave-Impact Equivalent Static Accelerations for Use in Small Planing Craft Hull Design

Abstract

This report presents an example of how engineering rationale could be applied to create a method for using high-speed craft acceleration data to develop an impact load factor, also known as an equivalent static acceleration, used in procedures for small high-speed craft hull design. The theory and rationale used to develop the equations are presented and existing data is used to illustrate correlation results.
