Abstract
A theory of wave induced main hull vibrations in regular and irregular waves is developed.
The vibrating hull is represented by a beam-element-model. The wave exciting forces are determined with a strip theory for oblique waves.
Numerical results for a 500.000 tons tanker are obtained and discussed.
The given solution proves to be an efficient procedure for the analysis of springing phenomena.
