Clauss; Sascha Kosleck; Daniel Testa The encounter of extreme waves, extreme wave groups, or unfavorable wave sequences poses dangerous threats for ships and floating/stationary marine structures. The impact of extreme waves causes enormous forces, whereas an unfavorable wave sequence...

It may be concluded that the use of the nonlinear restoring moment, which is an odd polynomial of the fifth order, and the cubic form for the nonlinear damping moment best fits the roll behavior for the ship model. The amount of energy dissipated by the damping moments is also calculated in the time...
