A SIMPLIFIED ESTIMATION OF LONG-TERM DISTRIBUTIONS OF VARIOUS RANDOM VARIABLES INDUCED BY OCEAN WAVES, AND A STUDY ON THE INFLUENCES OF OPERATING CONDITIONS ON THE EXTREMES

Many studies have been made concerning the theoretical estimation of the long term distribution of responses of a ship in ocean waves. This study examines the effects of the long term wave condition and the ship operating condition to improve the method for estimating ship responses to ocean waves. A fundamental proposition is that long distribution of wave induced responses consists of many short-term distributions each following a Rayleigh distribution. From this base a new simplified estimating method is proposed that is highly accurate.
