A THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF STRUCTURAL VIBRATION CHARACTEISTICS OF SUBMERGED HYDROFOILS. PHASE III-A: VIBRATION CHARACTERISTICS OF SEVERAL FULL-SCALE HYDROFOIL CRAFT,

Abstract

The objective of this study is to determine and evaluate existing measured data on dynamic structural characteristics of several hydrofoil craft. It was found that a very small amount of data has been reported and that no comprehensive program to obtain such data is being planned for any of the hydrofoil craft considered. Certain of the procedures used in the design of these craft are also discussed. (Author)
