<meta content="This paper reports on a study into the whipping behaviour of large high-speed aluminium catamarans and its influence
on fatigue life. Full-scale measurements of slam events and exciter tests have been conducted on two large high-speed
catamarans to investigate the modes, frequencies and damping of their vibratory whipping response. A corresponding
theoretical modal analysis was also conducted utilising finite element analysis and including fluid-structure interaction.
Good correlation between the predicted and measured frequencies and mode shapes was found. The influence of forward
speed on the added mass formulation was found to be negligible, while vessel loading conditions were found to have a
significant influence on modal frequencies. Results are also presented from a fatigue study which highlight the influence
of whipping on fatigue life." name="eprints.abstract" />

on fatigue life. Full-scale measurements of slam events and exciter tests have been conducted on two large high-speed
catamarans to investigate the modes, frequencies and damping of their vibratory whipping response. A corresponding
theoretical modal analysis was also conducted utilising finite element analysis and including fluid-structure interaction.
Good correlation between the predicted and measured frequencies and mode shapes was found. The influence of forward
speed on the added mass formulation was found to be negligible, while vessel loading conditions were found to have a
significant influence on modal frequencies. Results are also presented from a fatigue study which highlight the influence
of whipping on fatigue life.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" border="0" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Subjects:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/291200.html">290000 Engineering and Technology > 291200 Maritime Engineering</a></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Collections:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">UNSPECIFIED</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ID Code:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">2293</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited By:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><span class="ep_name_citation"><span class="person_name">Dr Giles Thomas</span></span></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited On:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">30 Oct 2007 11:38</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Last Modified:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">04 Feb 2008 10:53</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ePrint Statistics:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a target="ePrintStats" href="/es/index.php?action=show_detail_eprint;id=2293;">View statistics for this ePrint</a></td></tr></table><p align="right">Repository Staff Only: <a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/cgi/users/home?screen=EPrint::View&eprintid=2293">item control page</a></p>
