Spectral distribution of oscillation of a ship has a strong peak at its frequency of resonance.
Then, index numbers of irregularity are as follows :
(I) By Cartwright & Longuet-Higgins (Theory of maxima)
ε(n)2=1-ψ0(2n+2)2/ψ0(2n)ψ0(2n+4)
where, (-1) nψ (2n) means r. m. s. of oscillation, and for amplitude n=0, for velocity n=1, and for acceleration n=2. Usually ε2>ε′2>ε″2 so regularity increases toward higher time derivative.
For narrow-banded spectrum ε2_??_ε′2_??_ε″2=0, but when it is widely distributed, ε2_??_2/3, ε′2_??_2/5, ε″ 2_??_2/7.
(II) By Rice (Theory of envelope)
α (n) =Ppn√ (-1) nψ0 *(2n)
where p=2πfm is circular frequency of resonance and P is amplitude of resonance. (-1) nψ0 *(2n) causes slowly varying amplitude of oscillation and generally forms Gauss distribution above f=0. So that.
(a″/a′) 2=1/3 (a′/a) 2·
These results are summarized by the author's index number
