Validated Frequency-Domain Seakeeping Analysis of Coupled Heave–Pitch Response of an S-175 Container Ship for Structural Reliability Screening
Coupled heave and pitch motions dominate the vertical-plane dynamic response of displacement ships in head and near-head seas and drive global hull-girder loads, yet frequency-domain analyses often treat RAOs, added mass, damping and excitation in isolation; this study therefore develops and experimentally validates a...
