Analysis of a single-degree-of-freedom roll motion model: simulation, sensitivity study, and comparison to multi-degree-of-freedom models.

This study models roll motion response of a barge subjected to beam sea conditions as a single degree of freedom system. The measured wave, either regular or random, is input into a computer program which uses a fourth order Runge Kutta integration method to numerically predict roll motion response....
