Abstract
Calculated results are presented for a flexible container ship travelling at 26 knots in a long crested irregular bow sea. Representative mean square spectral densities are given for lateral shear force, lateral bending moment and twisting moment. The influence of allowing for warping stiffness is examined and comparisons are made with results obtained using conventional theory based on the assumption of huh rigidity.
