Influence of Falling Height on the Behavior of Skid- Launching Free-Fall Lifeboat in Regular Waves

This paper numerically investigated the influence of falling height on the behavior of the skid-launching free-fall lifeboat (FFLB) in regular waves. The boat has been treated as a rigid body when the differential equations of motion for the four falling phases, i.e., sliding or ramp phase, rotati...
