Statistics and analysis of ship wave loads under severe sea conditions

A new calculation method of ship wave loads under severe sea conditions,including resultant moments and slamming moments,has been introduced,based on a high speed case. Results are firstly estimated under 30 minutes short term sea conditions,by comparing wave,slamming and resultant loads, then estimated under 4 hours stable sea states for higher statistics of extremes. Finally the overall strength of the ship has been briefly calculated.
