contents Marine airbags are widely used in ship launching operations, but they are prone to various failure modes that can compromise their safety and reliability. This research paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the failure modes of marine airbags used in such and proposes practical mitigation strategies to enhance their safety and reliability. The paper examines the effects of applied force, internal pressure, material properties, and environmental factors on the stress distribution and deformation of marine airbags. The paper also presents numerical methods to evaluate the performance and failure mechanisms of marine airbags under different loading conditions. Based on the results, the paper suggests some recommendations for improving the design, fabrication, installation, operation, and maintenance of marine airbags for ship launching. This study contributes to the ongoing research to ensure the safe and reliable use of marine airbags in ship launching operations.
