Abstract

A method is presented for analyzing the steady-state or stationary random heave response of suspended underwater systems. The nonlinear continuous system is replaced by a discretized pseudolinear system by means of an equation difference minimization technique. The resulting pseudolinear system is solved by an iterative scheme. An example of the application of the proposed method of analysis to a suspended hydrophone system is given. The example shows that the nonlinear pressure drag forces have a very significant effect on the over-all response of the system. The nature of the response is discussed and some practical conclusions are given.
