INTRODUCTION
Of the six motions of the ship, the roll oscillation is the most critical motion that can lead to the ship capsizing. For a head sea condition, the roll response becomes important as the water plane area changes drastically as the wave passes which influences the roll restoring coefficient As the heave motions and pitch motions also contribute to the changes in the water plane area, roll motion is to be simulated along with its coupling with heave and pitch motions

OBJECTIVE
To calculate the Roll-Heave-Pitch coupled response of the vessel for a head sea condition To establish Heave, Pitch and Roll RAOs of the vessel and to compare them with the RAOs obtained from SEAKEEPER module of Maxsurf

Analyse the regions of roll instability

STRIP THEORY
Strip theory considers a ship to be made up of a finite number of transverse two dimensional slices, which are rigidly connected to each other.

Each slice is treated hydrodynamically as if it is a segment of an infinitely long floating cylinder.

STRIP THEORY CONTD.

Radiation Forces data is available for 2-D ship like sections

3 basic 2-D methods are : Ursell s analytical solution of the potential theory for a circular cross section.

Conformal mapping of a ship - like cross section to the unit circle and Tasai s extension of Ursells theory to con formal mapped cross sections.
Frank s pulsating source theory , directly applied to a shiplike cross section
