Equivalent Wave for GZ H(X,t): Stochastic wave profile h(t): Equivalent wave height used in calculation of GZ xc(t): Wave crest position
FORM Analysis The design point D (*) and the associated value of βHLdetermine accurately the probability that the response exceed the prescribed value. Theycan be calculated by standard reliability programs.
Conditional Most Probable Roll Motion • Roll period in waves must be in the range of twice the wave encounter peak period. • Simulation time t0 longer than the hydrodynamic memory. • Results to the right: • Design point wave elevation • Roll response for this wave • for Hs=6m, 12m and prescribed roll angle of 17 deg. (0.3 rad.) • A minimum wave height (3.7m) is needed to trigger parametric roll.
Conditional Responses Conditional mean response = Most probable response
Reliability Index βHL Linear response: βHL = constant*Roll/Hs
Mean Outcrossing Rates The mean outcrossing rate is given by
Probability of Exceedance Given ship, speed, heading and zero-crossing wave period
Conclusions • The First Order Reliability Method (FORM) provides a fast and accurate tool to predict parametric roll in stationary seaways: • The design point and reliability index follows from FORM • The mean outcrossing rates and probability of exceedance of a given roll angle within a given period is given analytically in terms of the design point and the reliability index. • It requires a realistic time-domain formulation of roll. • The procedure is well suited for generation of a operational polar diagram in an on-board decision support system.
