Abstract
Short term probability distribution of the vertical bending moment acting on a cruise vessel in extreme seas is calculated using a body nonlinear time domain method based on strip theory. The hydrodynamic forces are calculated for the exact wetted surface area under the incident wave profile. The incident potential satisfies the weakly nonlinear free surface condition based on the Stokes expansion. The disturbance potential satisfies the linear free surface and body boundary conditions. Certain practical engineering techniques are employed for the calculation of the body nonlinear forces. The statistics and the probability of distribution of the numerical vertical bending moment are compared with the experimental results measured in the wave tank. © 2015 by ASME.
