Local quasi-static slamming response using a gwm strip approach

The goal of this thesis is to obtain local response due to slamming loads. The main problem is that there is no satisfactory 3D slamming model, so a strip approach is applied. Slamming loads are included in hydro-structure interaction models when fully non-linear wave loads are applied. The slamming model used is the generalized Wagner method ...
