Abstract
It is shown that the transfer functions characterizing the nonlinear response of ships in irregular seas can be obtained from high order moments of the ship motions by an extension of standard spectral-analysis techniques. Hence, full-scale measurements can be used to determine, for example, the coefficients of excess wave resistance and lateral drift. The method also has applications in model experiments.
