Abstract

The article presents a structural strength analysis of an amphibious hull using the finite element method under typical operational loads. Numerical simulation results revealed that the original design does not sufficiently ensure structural integrity under complex dynamic conditions. After reinforcing critical stress concentration zones, the hull structure meets the strength requirements of the Vietnam Register regulations and national technical standards for road vehicles. The findings provide a scientific basis for the development of domestic multi-purpose platforms capable of addressing Vietnam’s growing needs in defense, civil applications, and emergency rescue operations.
