With the expansion of global trade routes, ship collision has become a major problem. This article proposes an approach by laying viscoelastic material on the inner side of the ship to increase the crashworthiness. By using the nonlinear finite element model software, this study simulates ship collisions as well as models and analyzes ships along with viscoelastic materials. The results from the simulation suggest that viscoelastic materials can effectively protect ships during collisions.
