Random wave analysis of Ship/Ramp/Barge response

A mathematical model describing the fundamental physics of a ship/ ramp/barge system, including a passive isolator, is developed. The model properly accounts for hydrodynamic proximity effects and structural coupling between the bodies. A standard second order model is used, for demonstration purpos...
