Experimental dataset on aluminium wedge slamming: measurements of acceleration, pressure, strain, and video data

Experimental dataset on aluminium wedge slamming: measurements of acceleration, pressure, strain, and video data
Experimental dataset on aluminium wedge slamming: measurements of acceleration, pressure, strain, and video data

This paper presents data from three experimental campaigns investigating slamming loads on a three-dimensional non-prismatic aluminium wedge, complementing the original research article “Slamming loads and responses on a non-prismatic stiffened aluminium wedge: Part I. Experimental study [1].” The experiments were designed to investigate the effects of slamming loads on structural responses through a series of free-fall drop tests. These tests included wedges with stiffened and unstiffened bottom plates to examine the influence of flexural rigidity on hydroelastic slamming. The experimental setup utilized three accelerometers for vertical acceleration measurement, sixteen pressure sensors for slamming pressure capture, and twenty strain gauges for recording structural responses. Detailed information on wedge geometry, material properties, and test plans is provided. Symmetric impact tests were conducted at drop heights from 25 cm to 200 cm with two different wedge masses. Asymmetric impact tests were carried out at three drop heights with heel angles ranging from 5 to 25°. The dataset includes time histories of sensor records, the geometry of the wedge section, and video footage from various runs. This comprehensive data offers insights into the effects of water impact velocity, deadrise angle, wedge mass, and bending stiffness on hydrodynamic pressures and structural responses on V-shaped sections. The experiments provide a valuable benchmark for future slamming impact research, aiding in the refinement of experiments, validation of numerical methods, and enhancement of mathematical models.

Abstract

This paper presents data from three experimental campaigns investigating slamming loads on a three-dimensional non-prismatic aluminium wedge, complementing the original research article “Slamming loads and responses on a non-prismatic stiffened aluminium wedge: Part I. Experimental study [1].” The experiments were designed to investigate the effects of slamming loads on structural responses through a series of free-fall drop tests. These tests included wedges with stiffened and unstiffened bottom plates to examine the influence of flexural rigidity on hydroelastic slamming. The experimental setup utilized three accelerometers for vertical acceleration measurement, sixteen pressure sensors for slamming pressure capture, and twenty strain gauges for recording structural responses. Detailed information on wedge geometry, material properties, and test plans is provided. Symmetric impact tests were conducted at drop heights from 25 cm to 200 cm with two different wedge masses. Asymmetric impact tests were carried out at three drop heights with heel angles ranging from 5 to 25°. The dataset includes time histories of sensor records, the geometry of the wedge section, and video footage from various runs. This comprehensive data offers insights into the effects of water impact velocity, deadrise angle, wedge mass, and bending stiffness on hydrodynamic pressures and structural responses on V-shaped sections. The experiments provide a valuable benchmark for future slamming impact research, aiding in the refinement of experiments, validation of numerical methods, and enhancement of mathematical models.
