Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. Pi-Type Fender




A high performance fender was developed by making use of Finite Element Methods. Simple in a shape and higher in evergy absorption capacity under the natural deflection contrary to its lower reaction load.The fender is put to use and mounted on a wharf in a manner equivalent to those in case of V-shape fender. Unlike V-shape fender, LAMBDA (hereinaftercalled LMD) type extends its rated deflection upto 52.5% to offer 26% higher energy absorption than V-shape for a certain level of reaction load. The diversified types-"LMD.F-Type" andLMD. P-Type" are available.
