The potentially serious hazards involved in LNG tanker collisions demand the development of safety regulations and structural design requirements; however, because the collision response is highly transient and nonlinear, it has defied analytical solution. This period methodology for predicting the structural responses of two colliding ships is a synthesis of the modern finite-element techniques, the classic collapse theorems, and experimental data from collision-model and other structural tests. Its basic principle is to use the most reliable method for each particular step of the prediction procedure. Comparisons of the analytical prediction with the collision model-test results indicate a good correlation.
