Influential Factors Analysis for Airbag’s Bearing Capacity in Launching Process

According to the change of airbag bearing shape and general assumptions at present, a calculation model is established to analyze the airbag’s bearing capacity and influential factors in the lauching process of ship. It is found that the airbag’s bearing capacity is closely related to initial pressure and the operating height. Through the model analysis, setting a suitable initial pressure and reducing the operating height could improve the safety of launching ship into the water. Such a research is helpful for the shipyard to arrange reasonable launching schemes.
