Transverse Wave Loads on a Ship Model in Waves (3 rd Report)

Abstract

From the standpoint of the transverse strength of ships the joint probability distribution (short term) of the hydrodynamic pressure on the ship side and on the bottom in irregular seas was discussed. For typical cargo ship and oil tanker in long-crested irregular head seas, correlation coefficient of the pressure on the side and on the bottom and regression coefficient of the pressure of the ship side were calculated by means of the linear superposition principle.
