This paper deals with the slamming phenomenon for deformable structures. In a first part, a three-dimensional hydrodynamic problem is solved numerically with the Finite Element Method. The results for a rigid body are successfully compared to the analytical solutions. After the numerical analysis, an experimental investigation is presented. It consists in series of free fall drop-tests of rigid, deformable cones shaped models with different deadrise angle and thickness. Distribution of the pressure and its evolution are analyzed. Numerical and experimental results are compared and present good agreement.

Free-fall lifeboats offer a means to evacuate a ship or offshore installation rapidly, without the lowering operations associated with conventional davit launched lifeboats on wire falls. The performance of free-fall lifeboats during launch and sail-away has been investigated using a model test campaign. The main focus of the experimental evaluation was on the performance of this evacuation system in a range of different weather conditions. Measurements were also made of motions during the launch process, which are relevant to occupational safety issues. Examples of the tests are presented with a focus on results that warrant scrutiny in terms of human health and performance. The results lead us to question the IMO criteria used to assess the occupational safety of free-fall lifeboats.
