Investigation of Springing Responses on the Great Lakes Ore Carrier M/V STEWART J. CORT

Abstract

From October through December 1979, DTNSRDC collected wave, stress and pressure measurements from on board the 1000 foot ore carrier, M/V STEWART J. CORT. An attempt was also made to verify the wave measurement system on the CORT via correlation with data from a wave buoy deployed by USCG helicopter. Following the data collection period, DTNSRDC performed a preliminary data analysis and made comparisons between measured and analytical bending moment RAO's (response amplitude operators). The main text of this report includes a complete description of the full scale instrumentation, calibration, data analysis and results. Included as additional appendices are descriptions of the procedures used to develop the analytical RAO's used by DTNSRDC for comparison with the measured RAO's.
