In earlier studies we have analyzed the phenomena which can generate loss of ship controllability in astern seas. In this paper we examine how the yaw instability associated with broaching can lead to roll instability and ship capsize. The dynamic effects responsible for capsize during the forced turn of broaching do not have their origin in the customary roll equation but are the result of interactions with other motions of the ship. Stability studies based solely on the roll equation are thus clearly inappropriate for this case where a multidimensional approach is deemed necessary. After presenting the theoretical background we set out a multi-degree method of global analysis which is based on transient maps. We apply this method to clarify how capsize occurs during the escape from surf-riding and also during transients from arbitrary initial condition of the ship. Our study establishes the connection between speed, heading, automatic control parameters and capsize. The proposed method can be useful in the context of a design methodology for minimizing the risk of ship capsize in astern seas.

Abstract In this article, preliminary results obtained in the exploration of a mechanical filter concept for suppressing crane-load oscillations on a ship vessel are presented. The pivot point about which the load oscillates is constrained to follow a circular track in the considered filter. The governing dynamical systems for the cases with and without the filter are presented, and the nonlinear dynamics of these systems is studied with respect to quasi-static variation of different scalar control parameters. It is shown that the presence of the filter helps in eliminating some of the sub-critical bifurcations that may arise in the crane-load response during periodic ship-roll excitations.

Algebraic expressions are presented which enable the harmonic balance equations to be written down directly in terms of the coefficients of a general nonlinear ship roll equation, without restriction on the number of harmonics considered. The rolling response is then readily computed, as illustrated by an investigation of the resonant modes of ships with angle-dependent cubic damping, or quintic terms in the righting moment. Details are also given of the validation process, showing how simulation time can be reduced by an appropriate choice of initial conditions.
