Therefore, an experimental setup is presented. This setup represents a simplified side hull structure of a double hull ship. The empty space between the double hull structure can be filled with the granular material which acts as crash absorber. The described experiment will be used to validate the finite element simulation of the penetration of the double hull with the bulbous bow. To model the granules the Mohr-Coulomb material model is taken advantage of. Based on the experimental data the suitability of the Mohr-Coulomb model will be discussed.en1617-706120181Wiley-VCHhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Technology::623: Military Engineering and Marine EngineeringTechnology::620: Engineering::620.1: Engineering Mechanics and Materials Science::620.11: Engineering MaterialsConference Paper10.1002/pamm.201800416https://doi.org/10.15480/882.917510.15480/882.9175Conference Paper
