Abstract: Calculated dynamic response of an articulated tower in waves is compared with model tests. The theory used is based on Morison’s equation and linear wave theory and requires specified hydrodynamic ...

Abstract: Horizontal motions of a tanker attached to a single-point mooring (SPM) terminal were predicted using digital simulation in the time domain. Excitations from steady current, gusting wind, and ...

Abstract: A method of long-term formulation of the nonlinear wave-induced vertical load effects on ships was applied to three tanker hulls of different sizes. For large tanker hulls, the nonlinear effect ...

Abstract: A nine-degree-of-freedom time domain mathematical model was used to numerically simulate crane ship dynamics. This model considers the elasticity and damping of the hoisting rope assembly and ...

Abstract: Horizontal motions of a tanker single point moored in current, wind, and waves were numerically investigated under four alternative configurations, namely, buoy mooring (SBM), articulated tower ...

Abstract: The motion response of a shear-leg crane ship lifting a heavy load in wave groups was investigated. The 9-DOF dynamic model incorporated hull motions coupled with nonlinear large-angle load ...

Abstract: A newly developed finite volume method was applied to ship slamming. The computational method accounts for arbitrary free surface deformations and uses unstructured grids for the discretization ...
