Ship Roll Mode Information Extracted From Sea Trial Data
Abstract
Random Decrement (RANDEC) Analysis was applied to time histories of roll motion for the Spruance class destroyer. The data was generated from sea trials conducted on a ship in 1987. The RANDEC process was applied to obtain estimates of roll-resonance modal damping and frequencies due to ship motion excitation by random-natured hydrodynamic forces and moments. Prior to applying the RANDEC technique to ship data, a numerical algorithm was developed and validated using reference data sets with known dynamic traits approaching that expected of the ship.
