Abstract
Recent studies on roll stabilization of ships using a digitally controlled rudder provided an introduction to the wide discrepancy possible in the nonlinear behavior of ship steering machinery. The full potential for use of rudder roll stabilization was not achievable during actual sea trials under these circumstances. An adaptive filter system using a reference model was developed and configured for application to digitally controlled ship steering machinery. Guidelines for establishing the desired performance are described and results of the numerical investigations are presented in this paper. Currently, verification by dockside testing remains to be done.
