Hirdaris, S., Parunov, J., Qui, W., Iijima, K., Wang, XL., Wang, S., Brizzolara, S. and Guedes Soares, C. (2023), Review of the uncertainties associated to hull girder hydroelastic response and wave load predictions, Marine Structures, Vol. 89, 103383

This paper reviews the importance of uncertainties in hull girder loads influenced by flexible fluid structure interactions. The focus is on developments in the field of hydroelastic modelling, simulation and model tests of practical relevance to the prediction hull girder wave load predictions and their validation. It is concluded that whereas hydroelastic methods for use in design development and assessment become increasingly useful, challenges in realizing and modelling uncertainties can be attributed to: (1) the limitations of numerical methods to suitably model nonlinearities; (2) the ambiguity of model tests; and (3) the systematic use of data emerging from computational, model- or full-scale methods. An approach is recommended to assess the uncertainty in the hydroelastic responses to wave loading and an example is provided to demonstrate the application of the procedure.
