Guedes Soares, C. and Schellin, T.E. (1996), “Nonlinear Effects on Long Term Distributions of Wave Induced Loads for Tankers”, Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering (OMAE’96), Guedes Soares, C. et al (Eds.), ASME, New York, Vol. II, pp. 79-85
A method of long-term formulation of the nonlinear wave induced vertical load effects on ships was applied to three tanker hulls of different sizes. For large tanker hulls the nonlinear effect is not significant and thus linear theories can continue to be used for earlier studies on these kind of ships, contrary to what was shown earlier for containership hulls. However, for smaller tanker significant nonlinear values were obtained, with the particularity that both sagging and hogging nonlinear results were larger than the linear ones.
