This study emphasized the nonlinear aspects of roll damping, particularly how the layout of the vessel and the influence of side hulls can affect roll motion. The findings provide valuable ...

This is demonstrated in the simulation results below. As seen, for r = 4, the absolute motion of the system mass is effectively zero. Also, as discussed above it is desired to keep the damping as ...

The natural frequency of the absorber was tuned to the natural frequency of the original system, and light damping was used for the absorber dashpot. As can be seen in the simulation, the motion of ...
