The work presents a practical example of computer simulation to the cargo handling problem on a general cargo ship. A 'Mariner' type ship was selected to assure introduction of realistic physical and operational constraints, and to permit simulation results to be compared with actual available operational results.

Hull girder stresses and motions were measured while the USS OUTPOST (AGR 10) was operated at selected speeds and relative headings to the waves in the various seas encountered while on ocean station radar picket duty. Forty-nine test runs of about 30-min duration were obtained. Certain amplitude and spectral characteristics of the several quantities measured were examined to observe the effect of ship heading and speed on ship response. Characteristic ...
