Abstract

The prevention of excessive roll acceleration is one of the fundamental requirements of an oceangoing vessel at sea. In this paper, aiming at this requirement, we propose a new theoretical method for calculating roll angular acceleration, called “PDF line integral method.”. This paper presents the derivation of this method and a numerical comparison with Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) results; also, its validity is shown. Although the utilized GZ curve (restoring curve) exhibits strong asymmetricity, the proposed method can provide for such a condition. With only the information of roll and roll rate joint probability density function (PDF), this method can approximately calculate the roll angular acceleration, which is a high-order differential property. In addition, a relatively good agreement is achieved between the theory and MCS results.
