Measurement of Wave-Induced Loads in Ships at Sea [and Discussion]

The problem of predicting wave-induced loads in ships is considered with particular reference to measurements at sea. The capabilities and limitations of theoretical analysis and strain measurements are discussed together with the role of each in the prediction of loads for design purposes. Some gap...

Description
Summary:The problem of predicting wave-induced loads in ships is considered with particular reference to measurements at sea. The capabilities and limitations of theoretical analysis and strain measurements are discussed together with the role of each in the prediction of loads for design purposes. Some gaps in knowledge are identified and priorities for future research suggested.
