THE ROLE OF NUMERICAL SIMULATION IN THE STUDY OF EXTREME PLATFORM RESPONSE

The motion response of an intact or damaged floating vessel in extreme waves is a dynamic process involving several types of nonlinear phenomena. Some of these nonlinearities lead to responses that are essentially similar to those that would be predicted by a purely linear theory. Others result in effects that are not predicted by linear analysis. The means available for estimating the hydrodynamic loads and motion responses are discussed and comparisons are made of results of linear and nonlinear analysis.
