RT Book, Section T1 Identification of the vertical plane motion model of a high speed craft by model testing in irregular waves A1 Cruz García, Jesús Manuel de la A1 Aranda, Joaquín A1 Ruipérez, P. A1 Díaz, J. M. A1 Marón, A. AB Experiments in towing tanks are concerned with the determination of the motion transfer functions, which are obtained by testing in irregular waves. For this purpose a model of pitch and heave motions has been developed, and the identified models of the vertical plane motions of a high-speed craft are showed. Linear models are obtained for different sea states and ship speeds. A general low order model is obtained by pole-zero cancellation. So, a full model may be considered for simulation and verification, and a low order model for design. From the lowest order models, a state space model is obtained PB Pergamon Press LTD SN 0-08-043033-3 YR 1999 FD 1999 LK https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/60852 UL https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/60852 DS Docta Complutense RD 5 may 2024
