HEAVY WEATHER DAMAGE INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEMS

The phenomena known to be the cause of hull damage in heavy weather are slamming, the shipping of green water over the bow, and excessive hull stress. This report presents the results of a limited literature search on these phenomena, and a description of several commercially available systems which have been developed for measuring these forces.
