Guedes Soares, C. and Schellin, T.E. (1996), “Long-Term Distribution of Non-Linear Wave Induced Vertical Bending Moments on a Containership", Marine Structures, Vol. 9, Issues 3-4, pp. 333-352

A method is proposed for the long-term formulation of wave induced vertical bending moments in ship structures. 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 container ship hull showing that only in the latter case is the response clearly non-linear and reproduced in the long-term predictions.
