A series of experiments conducted on a small fishing vessel in beam waves at constant displacement and wave steepness, revealed that the roll motion peak amplitude was quite independent on initial metacentric height, which was varied in a wide interval of values. In this paper, the explanation of the phenomenon is searched in the mechanics of ship rolling by means of the analysis of a non-linear mathematical model with coefficients based on a least square fitting to the experimental results.

Abstract
A series of experiments conducted on a small fishing vessel in beam waves at constant displacement and wave steepness, revealed that the roll motion peak amplitude was quite independent on initial metacentric height, which was varied in a wide interval of values. In this paper, the explanation of the phenomenon is searched in the mechanics of ship rolling by means of the analysis of a non-linear mathematical model with coefficients based on a least square fitting to the experimental results.File in questo prodotto:
