The detection of wave slamming from vibration measurements on a polar supply and research vessel

The SA Agulhas II is a polar supply and research vessel, which operates in the stormy Southern ocean and icy Antarctic waters. She is predisposed to problematic stern slamming. Twelve accelerometer channels from a full-scale vibration measurement system were used to capture measurements of wave inci...
