Experimental and numerical evaluation of wave impact stress on a composite boat hull

In this paper, a composite planing hull response is tested in a numerical environment, using real material properties obtained from hull excerpts in lab. Extreme loads are simulated in a numerical quasi static situation using register rules recommendations for pressure and vertical acceleration values. The results are compared with the experimental values recorded using full scale hull and trials in real conditions on the river, for different speed values comprised between 4 and 12 m/s
