DETERMINATION OF STABILITY DERIVATIVES BY IMPULSE-RESPONSE TECHNIQUES

This paper presents a new method of experimentally determining the stability derivatives of a ship. Using a linearized set of the equations of motion which allows for the presence of a memory effect, the response of the ship to impulsive motions is examined. This new technique is compared with the traditional method of regular-motion tests and experimental results are presented for both methods.
