The nonlinear wave loading and dynamic response of a freely-floating two-dimensional box

This thesis concerns the nonlinear loading and dynamic response of a rectangular box in two dimensions. A fully-nonlinear potential flow model and a series of experimental procedures are employed to describe the nonlinearities governing the floating-body behaviour. Adopting this twin-track approach,...
