heave yaw when the ship is treated as a rigid body, it has six degrees of freedom: three linear motions and three rotations as indicated in the figure at the left: body-fixed axes pitch, v roll, u sway linear motions: surge, sway, and heave rotations: roll, pitch, and yaw when the equations of motion are linearized, heave, pitch and surge are coupled in one set of three equations, and sway, roll and yaw are coupled in the other surge there is no linear coupling between pitch and roll in spite of this decoupling of the set of six linear equations of motion into two sets of three linearly coupled equations of motion, Froude in 863 commented that ships with a frequency frequency in roll that is half their frequency in pitch have very undersirable seakeeping characteristics -- a very astute observation for the time because in the linearized equations of motion roll and pitch are not coupled aparently the coupling i s nonlinear approximately a century later, Pauling and Rosenberg, in an effort to understand the coupling, conducted an experiment in which a model was attached to a sting that allowed only roll and pitch and placed it in a towing tank with a wave maker
heave yaw the essence of the two-degree-of freedom motion of the model in the wave tank is captured by the following equations: pitch, v roll, u sway surge u + μu + ω u = α uv + kcos Ω t + γ v + μ v + ω v = α u + f cos Ωt where u represents the roll motion and v represents the pitch motion introduce a small bookkeeping parameter ε and redefine: ) the damping coefficients: μ εμ and μ εμ ) the amplitudes of the excitation: k εk and f = εk 3) the coefficients of the nonlinear terms: α εα and α εα and u + εμ u + ω u = εα uv + ε kcos Ω t + γ v + εμ v + ω v = εα u + ε f cos Ωt

free-vibration cases to be considered: ) no internal resonance, no excitation ) internal resonance, no excitation ) in this case there are only secular terms and we so we require iβ μt DA + μa = 0 A = ae aβ = 0 & a + μa = 0 a = ce 0 as t iβ similarly, DA + μa = 0 A = ae A 0 as t NO problem here : free vibrations in a damped system decay, α and α are arbitrary
