Development of Analytical Techniques for the Assessment of Energy Absorption Mechanisms in Marine Fender Systems
Abstract
Performance algorithms have been determined relating energy and load/ deflection characteristics for various generic types of fendering systems. These systems are typically rubber, pneumatic, foam filled, etc., and have been investigated herein. The fender type variables have been identified to define the particular performance relationships. This generalized relationship is based on the performance data acquired from numerous manufacture sources for different types of fender systems. The correlation and condensation of particular energy performance curves substantiates the choice of the volumetric interrelation as a significant relationship for the fender types.
