Guedes Soares, C. (1992), “Long-Term Distribution of Non-linear Wave Induced Vertical Bending Moments”, Proceedings of the Charles Smith Memorial Conference, Dunfermline, 13-14 July, pp. 1-11

A method is proposed for the long-term formulation of wave induced vertical bending moments. The non-linearity of the response is represented by an uncertain modelling factor that is calibrated by experimental values. Long term predictions are obtained for a tanker and a containership hull showing that only in the latter case is the response clearly non-linear and reproduced in the long-term predictions.
