Supplemental Material: Prediction of Whipping Response during Preliminary Design

The Glosten Associates wrote Prediction of Whipping Response during Preliminary Design to present at the Eleventh Triennial PRADS Symposium of 2010. This paper expanded the design parameter domain of Hutchison and Morgan (2009) to more fully encompass the validation cases for a naval frigate and the ITTC S-175 containership, and extended the range of application beyond bottom slamming to include bow flare slamming. The material given below supplements this paper by giving additional detail for Longitudinally Distributed Parameters; Underwater Cross-Sectional Area, A(x); Breadth, B(x); Weight Distribution, W(x); Structural Cross-Sectional Area, AS(x); Structural Moment of Inertia, I(x); Added Mass, Am(x). The intention is to assist others who would like to apply the methods covered in the PRADS paper.
