Evaluation and verification of computer calculations of wave-induced ship structural loads

TL;DR: An analytical method for the determination of conventional merchant ship motions and wave-induced moments in a seaway is developed in this paper, where vertical and lateral plane motions and loads are considered for a ship travelling at any heading in regular waves and in irregular long or short crested seas.

An investigation of the utility of computer simulation to predict ship structural response in waves

TL;DR: In this article, the vertical and lateral bending moments due to waves are determined by use of a digital computer, and sample computations illustrated for determin- ing frequency domain outputs using a modal model of the ship structural dynamic representation.
