Repeated Water Entry Shocks on High-Speed Planing Boats.

Abstract

The occupants of high-speed planing boats (HSPBs) are exposed to repeated shock impacts that result from hull slamming during operations in rough water. The development and application of injury/performance prediction methods and standards to HSPB operation are discussed. Tests conducted at sea to quantify repeated shocks are described and results are presented. The applicability of scale model tests and the development of computer simulations are discussed. Relationships between test data and existing and proposed standards and models for injury potential are discussed. Recommendations for additional testing and development are presented.
