Modelling, validation and simulation of multi-degree-of-freedom nonlinear stochastic barge motions

Creator:

Bartel, Warren A.

Abstract:

Recent developments in estimation of the survivability of a U.S. Navy transport barge in random seas are extended to improve accuracy. The single Degree-of-Freedom (DOF) model of a extreme roll response of a barge used in previous research is replaced by a 3-DOF roll-heave-sway model to include linear and nonlinear...
