heal.abstract	The problem of ship collisions may well be considered one of the most complicated impact problems that contemporary engineering research is encountering. The structures involved are very large and include various structural elements. Thus, there is a large number of different modes of deformation that may occur, a fact that introduces a lot of parameters in the investigation of such problems. Finite-element analyses have been used over the past decade to solve several impact problems effectively. Though considerable success has been recorded in many research areas, such as the automotive industry, ship collision simulations still confront difficulties in providing reliable results. This paper attempts to determine the parameters that largely influence ship collisions and to provide tools and guidelines for the effective implementation of finite-element codes.	en
