IN THIS PAPER, A SCALED 3D SHIP IS MODELED AND ANALYZED BY FINITE ELEMENT METHOD UNDER SHOCK LOADING. BY USING OF SHOCK FACTOR, THERE IS NO NEED TO HAVE DIFFERENT TESTS OR EVEN NUMERICAL SIMULATION. SHOCK FACTOR IS AN IMPORTANT PARAMETER WHICH CLARIFIES SHOCK SEVERITY. IT WAS FOUND THAT ALTHOUGH THE NEW SHOCK FACTOR INTRODUCED BY YAO ET AL. (2009), WHEN CONSTANT, PREDICT THE RESPONSE BETTER THAN OLDER SHOCK FACTOR, BUT FOR VARYING VALUES OF SHOCK FACTORS, THE OLDER WOULD PREDICT BETTER. IT IS ALSO FOUND THAT COSTLY AND TIME-CONSUMING EXPERIMENTS CAN BE AVOIDED BY PROPER FINITE ELEMENT MODELING, YET THE ERRORS CAN REMAIN WITHIN AN ACCEPTABLE RANGE. THE RESULTS OF THE PRESENT WORK MAY BE USED AS BENCHMARKS FOR FUTURE WORKS.
