The figures show transversepenetration <strong>in</strong>to the struck ship as a function of theparticular variables <strong>in</strong> each matrix. The results showgood agreement between the models. DAMAGEgenerally predicts the lowest penetration, <strong>and</strong>ALPS/SCOL generally predicts the highest.Figures 22 <strong>and</strong> 23 (Matrix 1) show the effect of theexternal dynamics. More energy is absorbed <strong>in</strong> strikesaround midship. SIMCOL shows a larger variation <strong>in</strong>penetration as a function of global strike location than theother models, particularly at low energy. SIMCOL’scoupled dynamics predict larger changes <strong>in</strong> the relativemotions at the strike po<strong>in</strong>t of the two ships as the strikelocation moves away from midship. This results <strong>in</strong> morelongitud<strong>in</strong>al damage <strong>and</strong> less penetration. ALPS/SCOLshows a similar, but lesser trend. This has the greatesteffect on shell <strong>and</strong> web deformation, <strong>and</strong> is most evident<strong>in</strong> the lower energy case, Figure 22.Matrix 1 0 3,4,5,6,7 90 -62.5,29.5,3.5,36.5,69.5,102.5Matrix 2 0 3,4,5,6,7 90 1.85,2.675,3.5,4.325,5.15Matrix 3 0 3,4,5,6,7 45,60,75,105,120,1353.5pen [m]Matrix 1: pen(x) Vb=3 knt43210-100 -50 0 50 100 150x [m fwd MS]DTUSIMCOL2.11DAMAGEALPS/SCOLFigure 22 – Matrix 1 Low Energy <strong>Collision</strong>Matrix 1: pen(x) Vb=7 knt150,000 dwtDouble HullTanker150,000 dwtBulk Carrierpen [m]10864DTUSIMCOL2.11DAMAGE2ALPS/SCOL0-100 -50 0 50 100 150x [m fwd MS]Figure 21 - <strong>Collision</strong> Strike Vertical AlignmentFigure 23 – Matrix 1 High Energy <strong>Collision</strong>Table 5 - Test Matrices13
