Wireless sensor network for determining boat motions and hydroelastic responses

open access: yes, 2011
A flexible segmented ship model has been tested in a series of head sea wave conditions including regular, irregular and a rogue wave. The model has a typical frigate form and is constructed using a flexible central spine against which four segments are ...

Control of Ship Roll Motion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The undesirable effects of roll motion of ships (rocking about the longitudinal axis) became noticeable in the mid-nineteenth century when significant changes were introduced to the design of ships as a result of sails being replaced by steam engines and the arrangement being changed from broad to narrow hulls.

Coupling between flexible ship and liquid sloshing using potential flow analysis and their effect on wave induced loads

open access: yes, 2010
The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of hull flexibility on the hydrodynamic forces and moments associated with liquid sloshing, as well as the dynamic characteristics = (e.g. resonance frequencies) of the whole system.
