... Abstract A third order Volterra modelling was used to calculate the nonlinear vertical hull girder loads in irregular head waves in two slender models with different degrees of bow flare. The first order and the required approximations of the second and third order frequency response functions were derived from systematical experiments in regular waves only.
From page 190...
... This paper shows the applicability of an approximate third order Volterra modelling to analyze the statistics of the vertical hull girder loads in irregular waves. The numerical results are compared with extensive model tests in irregular waves.
From page 191...
... The high-frequency higher order components cause the response spectra to become wider, which is another complication in extreme statistics. In the following section a theory is outlined to derive approximations for the linear, quadratic and cubic frequency response functions using which it is possible to derive the response statistics in irregular waves for those nonlinear responses in which the first order term is still dominant.

... as derived from the second harmonic. It was observed in the analysis of the regular wave results that the modulus of the experienced second harmonic and mean bending moment were generally of the same magnitude, especially for the Wigley with bow flare which shows the severest nonlinear behaviour i21]

... 4 The Resulis In this section, reconstructed time histories resulting from the first, second and third order Volterra modellings are analysed and compared in detail with experiments in irregular waves. The main purpose of these analyses is to investigate whether or not it is possible to make a proper prediction of the probability densities and of the statistics of the maxima, minima and ranges of the hull girder loads.
From page 196...
... The reconstructed motion responses of the Wigley with bow flare are shown in figure 6 and 7. Figure 8 and 9 show some examples of the measured and numerically reconstructed vertical bending moments in the same Wigley model.
From page 197...
... This is the explanation for the large spreading in the normalised first harmonic responses in regular waves, which showed an increase of the normalised first harmonic response amplitude in the frequency response peak of more than 20 To over the range of tested wave amplitudes, see figure 5. The low frequency and double frequency peak are very well predicted by applying the second order Volterra modelling.

... 4.4 Peak-Peak Probability Densities The final test for the proposed Volterra modelling was the comparison of the probability density of the peak-peak values. The time histories as well as the power spectra showed a wide band hull girder load response, which was not the result after the linear simulation, and was only partly estimated by the second order simulation.

... To explain this phenomenon, it is necessary to explain the physical origin of the loads. In general, hull girder loads are defined as the forces and moments in a hull cross-section, i.e., the "internal loads," which make equilibrium with the net external forces and moments and the inertial reactions of the ship.
