TY - CONF A1 - Otremba, Frank A1 - Romero-Navarrete, José A. T1 - Analysis of the capsizing of a tanker in the Rhine river N2 - A dynamic simulation model for a tanker ship along the Rhine River has been proposed, based on a simplified computational scheme, involving a two-degree-of-freedom roll plane multibody system, subjected to lateral accelerations estimated on the basis of measured data. The resulting equations of motion are solved through the transition matrix approach. The results suggest that many contributing factors were involved in the capsizing of the ship, including the relatively high speed of the river water and the meandering path of the infrastructure, further affected by dynamic effects derived from the behavior of the payload and from the steering maneuvers performed.
