Short Term Prediction of Hydroelastic Dynamic Response in Random Waves for an 1100 TEU Container Ship

Abstract:

This paper is focused on a short term statistical analysis of the ship dynamic response in random head waves. The waves and the ship responses are considered to be homogenous random processes, being described by a short term Rayleigh first order probability density function. The waves are described in the frequency domain by ITTC power density spectrum function, with time domain formulation by Airy-Faltinsen and Longuet-Higgins models. The numerical analysis are carried out with own program codes package DYN, based on the hydroelasticity theory, with oscillation and vibration components, taking into account the ship speed influence on the dynamic response. The dynamic analysis is based on frequency domain procedures, for linear steady state response, and direct time domain integration procedures, for non-linear and transitory response, resulting power and amplitude density spectrum functions by Fast Fourier Transformation method. The numerical analyses are applied for an optimized 1100 TEU container ship structure, considering six different ship speeds, from 0 to 20 knots, for the full containers loading case. The short term statistical numerical results are pointing out that the ship speed has higher influence on the global vibrations response in compare to the oscillations response, with better accuracy on the non-linear model.
