Abstract:This paper-describes the application of ship motion analysis to predict the motions and accelerations of a platform jacket mounted on a barge for transport to its installation location. Calculations were made for both regular and irregular_ sea conditions for _ various headings of the vessel-pl-atform combination relative to the seaway. Conventional linear frequency response methods via strip theory are used, augmented by inclusion of nonlinear roll damping, for the motion predictions. A time domain simulation… Show more
