A theoretical and experimental investigation into the nonlinear dynamics of floating bodies

The nonlinear dynamic characteristics and stability of floating vehicles are investigated theoretically and experimentally. Mathematical models of such floating bodies are used to investigate their complicated motions in regular waves. In particular, we address the phenomenon of indirectly exciting...
