## Abstract
Aluminum foam is one of the materials that can be used to support the ship's fender structure to withstand impact loads. The purpose of this study was to analyze the absorption capacity of conventional fender designs with fender designs using aluminum foam. In analyzing the energy absorption of each fender variation, the crashworthiness test is used. Crashworthiness was applied with the help of Abaqus CAE software to design the fender frame and perform loading simulations. The aluminum material used is aluminum alloy 6061 with specifications and consists of fender frames and aluminum foam frames. To obtain optimal parameter values, fender shape analysis will be carried out using the Taguchi method on Minitab software. Meanwhile, to determine the contribution of the parameters to the TEA (Total Energy Absorption) response using the One- Way Anova (Analysis of Variance) method on Minitab. In conclusion, the simulation of Aluminum Foam proved to have high absorption.
