FLOODING AND STRUCTURAL FORENSIC ANALYSIS OF THE SINKING OF THE RMS TITANIC
Ships and Offshore Structures
Jeffrey W. Stettler & Brian S. Thomas
This study aimed to accurately model, simulate, and evaluate the progressive flooding, sinking, and structural failure of the Titanic using advanced computer simulations and finite-element analysis.
FLOODING BY COMPARTMENT
Titanicology
Samuel Halpern
At the British Inquiry into the loss of the Titanic, H&W's naval architect Edward Wilding presented a plan that he called "Flooding by Compartment." This plan was developed to show how the Titanic would trim down by the head as individual compartments are flooded one at a time beginning with the first and working aft.
Titanic Research and Modeling Association
Roy Mengot
Roy Mengot challenges the accepted theories of Titanic's initial flooding and suggests that the early sighting of water was due to overflow rather than direct damage from the collision.
