Structural failure of a tanker due to grounding has been studied in large-Scale experiments and numerical simulations. The simulations used a commercial FEM code with customized subroutines accounting for rigid-body motions, plate rupturing, and welded joint failure. The simulations agree wellwith experiments showing that the approach is suitable to assess the crashworthiness of new structureal designs for tankers.
