Assumingthe oating body is initially at rest and the waves act
perpendicular to the vessel of lateralsymmetry, hydrodynamic
coecients were obtained in terms of integrated sectional
added-mass, damping, and restoring coecients, derived from Franks
close-t curve. A numericalexperimentonavessel

frequencies, namely, 0.56rad/s, 0.74rad/s, and 1.24rad/s. The
damping parameters(i) reveal the system stability criteria, derived
from the quartic analysis, corresponding tothe undamped frequencies
(i). It is observed that the sway and yaw motions become max-imum
for frequency 0.56rad/s, whereas roll motion is maximum for
frequency 0.74rad/s.All three motions show harmonic behavior and
attain dynamic equilibrium for time t >100seconds.

behavior and motion responseof a oating body in water waves is
essential for proper harbor design. A oating bodyexcited by waves
experiences six degrees of motion constituting three translatory
andthreerotational motions.
Thesemotionscanbedescribedkinematicallyintermsofsurge, sway, and
heave, which are translations along the x-, y-, and z-axes, and
rotationsabout the same set of axes are roll, pitch, and yaw
(Figure 1.1). For a oating body withlateral symmetry in shape and
weight distribution, the six coupled equations of motioncan be
reduced to two sets of equations, where the rst set consisting of
surge, heave,and pitch can be decoupled from the second set
consisting of sway, roll, and yaw. Weinvestigate the second set
since the roll motion is important with respect to the stabilityof
the oating body.Important investigations to understand the
hydrodynamic behavior and motion re-sponse of a oating body were
rst started by W. Froude with an initial study of
rolling.Subsequently, several
investigationswerecarriedoutwiththedevelopmentofstriptheory in ship

formulated linearized equations of motion of a oatingbody in
transient seaway. Tasai [6] introduced a strip theory to calculate
sway-roll-yawmotions for a ship in oblique waves with zero forward
speed. Vugts [9] reported exper-imental observations on sway and
roll amplitudes for various cylinder shapes in beamwaves. Salvesen
et al. [4] presented a new strip theory for predicting heave,
pitch, sway,roll, andyawmotionsaswell aswave-inducedvertical
andhorizontal shearforces,bending moments, and torsional moments
for a ship in arbitrary heading waves withconstant forward speed.
The motion of a oating horizontal cylinder in a uniform in-viscid
uid at irregular wave frequencies was studied by Ursell [8],
considering it as aclassical potential ow problem. Mulk and

O lies in the undisturbed free surface. Let the translatory
displacements in x, y,and z directions with respect to the origin
be 1, 2, and 3 indicating surge, sway, andheave, respectively. In
rotational motion, the angular displacements about the same setof
axes are 4, 5, and 6 indicating roll, pitch, and yaw, respectively.
The denition ofsix motions of any oating body with sign convention
is shown in Figure 1.1.In order to construct the governing
equations of motion, the following assumptionsare made.(i) The
oating body is slender and rigid with symmetric distribution of
mass.(ii) Motion amplitude is small so that equations can be
linearized.(iii) Except in roll motion, the eect of viscosity is
neglected.(iv) Incident waves are unidirectional and of single
periodicity.(v) Due to lateral symmetry, longitudinal and
transverse motions are decoupled.Undertheaboveassumptions,
sixlinearlycoupleddierentialequationsofmotionscan be written as

(4.3)The expressions for li, mi, ni, and rjare given in the

f4(s), and f6(s), which can be solved in the frequencydomain by
using Cramers rule:f2(s) = D1D , f4(s) = D2D , f6(s) = D3D ,

Dshould be nonsingular, that is, D 0. Nowexpanding determinant D,

Q is the quartic with respect to the frequency-dependent variable

writeQ=_s2+211s +21__s2+222s +22_. (4.8)Similarly, determinant D1in

motions, a ship of length = 150m, beam = 20.06m, draught =9.88m,
and mass =19190tons was assumed, for which the beam-draft ratio
becomesnearly equal to two. The location of center of gravity Gis
considered at the point O
,which is 1maway fromthe origin O. The monochromatic sinusoidal
waves act perpen-dicular to the longitudinal axis of the ship with
three dierent frequencies of 0.56rad/s,0.74rad/s, and 1.24rad/s,
corresponding to the wave height of 1.0m. The coecientsrelated to
sectional added mass, sectional damping, and sectional wave
exciting forcewere used from the experimental results of Vugts [9]
and Franks close-t curve (Table5.1), for a cylinder with
rectangular cross-section with identical beam-draft ratio.A
computer program, SIPCOEF, was developed to generate the relevant
coecientscorresponding to the set of linear equations for each mode
of motion. In order to obtainDETERMINATIONOFCOUPLEDSWAY, ROLL,
