A Ship Design and Operations Lab App.

Graphical representation of estimated motion responses for ships. Heave, pitch, roll, vertical motion and vertical acceleration responses are calculated as function of length, breadth, draft, block coefficient, waterline breadth and operational profile. Bending moment is also estimated. Values can be changed by clicking and dragging the sliders.

Based on the article Estimation of ship motions using closed-form expressions by Jensen and Mansour (2004).
