... and lateral distance on the ship trajectory is revealed. A sensitivity analysis of the maneuvering model is performed to determine whether the hydrodynamic interaction effect is necessary to be evaluated exactly for an accurate predicted trajectory and DCPA. The DCPA in different situations is calculated...

... analysis. The variation of such quantities, owing to the uncertainties associated with the vessel system parameters, can be quantified by performing uncertainty propagation and consequent sensitivity analysis. This study emphasizes and proposes a computational-efficient way of assessing the sensitivity...

... offshore steel jacket structures in the Danish part of the North Sea. The study includes a sensitivity analysis performed for the identification of relevant generic parameters such as the bending to membrane stress ratio, the design fatigue life, and the material thickness. Based on the results...

... systems marine systems structural engineering damping sensitivity analysis identification In Part 1 ( 1 ) of this two-part study, the nonlinear system identification methodology developed earlier by the authors for a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system using the reverse-multi-input/single...

... and the most suitable physical representative model is selected for the mooring system considered. A sensitive analysis is conducted to investigate the coupled hydrodynamic forces modeled by the Morison equation, the nonlinear stiffness from mooring lines and the nonlinear response. The appropriateness of each...

... step of iteration are recycled in the succeeding ones, a simple experimental design is enough to fit a robust response surface. A double bottom hull system is analyzed with randomized Young’s modulus, load distribution, and geometric properties. The sensitivity analysis is also performed with respect...
