SEAKEEPING TEST

Objective
► To obtain heave, pitch and roll Response Amplitude
Operator (RAO).
► To obtain significant acceleration at forward
perpendicular in sea state 5
► Theoretical study of seakeeping to understanding of
Simple Harmonic Motion.
► Familiarize with techniques that can predict natural
periods of ship motions.
SEAKEEPING TEST

Background

The seakeeping experiment done to obtain the motion

characteristic of ship. The excessive motion which are
undesirable since they may impair discomfort to the
crew and passengers.

The significant acceleration at forward speed is

important for some ship such as warship because they
want to put the missile onboard.

4.Roll
5.Pitch
6.Yaw

- Only heaving rolling and pitching are pure oscillatory motions.

- For surging, swaying and yawing, the ship does not return to its
original equilibrium.

SEAKEEPING TEST

Heaving Motion
 Happen when a ship moving oscillates
vertically upward and downward in seaway
 will continue oscillated vertical up and down
until the equilibrium position is reached .
SEAKEEPING TEST

Pitching Motion
 Occur when the bow and stem
of ship will moving trimming
oscillates at Y axis.

Preparation
1. Calculate the total amount of the ballast to be loaded
for the various conditions to be tested.
2. Release the oscillation table of the apparatus for the
measuring ship model inertia moment.
3. Adjusted the level of the oscillation table to the
required height.
4. Measure height of a specific point at one end of the
model above a certain reference (e.g floor).
5. Push one side of the empty oscillation table down and
release it to let it oscillate freely
SEAKEEPING TEST

Preparation
6. Determine the time for one complete oscillation
(natural oscillation period).
7. Calculate the natural oscillation time.
8. Position the model on the table & ballast
9. Determine the time for one complete oscillation by
measuring the lime passing for 10 oscillations divided
by 10.
10. Check whether the oscillation time agrees with the
calculated oscillation time
11. Remove the model and fixate the ballast weights. The
model is now as far as its mass distribution in
concerned ready for the testing in the basin.
