SHIP SPRINGING-AN EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL STUDY

The results of an experimental and theoretical study investigating the main hull girder vibrations of Great Lakes ore carriers are presented. The source of excitation is considered to be the incident waves. The emphasis of the work is on the hydrodynamic aspects. Both linear and non-linear springing excitation are considered.
