Abstract

A time-domain strip method with memory-effect function considering body nonlinearity is presented. In small waves, results from conventional linear strip theory and the present method for a modified Wigley model were compared with the results of linear theories and with experiments, and they were found to be in good agreement. In large waves, a 716 TEU containership was used to compare time histories of motions and vertical bending moments calculated using the present method with experimental results. The time histories of motion were not strongly distorted, but those of the vertical bending moments were extremely distorted, especially for the fore part, and were far from sinusoidal signals. The time histories of the calculations and the experimental results were found to be, qualitatively and quantitatively, in good agreement. A post-Panamax containership was also used as an example of an up-to-date large bow-flare ship, and the calculated results were also found to be in good agreement with the experimental results.
