ABSTRACT
Vertical and lateral wave bending moments were measured at the midship section of a 1/96-scale model of the C4-S-1A
MARINER-class cargo ship CALIFORNIA BEAR. The model was self propelled
through a ship speed-range of 10 to 22 knots at seven headings to regular waves of lengths between 0.2 and 2.0 times the length be-tween perpendiculars; moderate wave heights not exceeding 1/50 of
the model length were used. Results are presented in charts of
bending-moment-amplitude/wave-amplitude versus ship speed, with
wave length as the parameter. Two ship loading conditions,
rep-resentative of actual westbound and eastbound trans-Pacific voy-ages are covered.

INTRODUCTION
In 1960 the Ship Structure Committee authorized Davidson Laboratory to initiate
a research program entitled ''Bending Moment Determination,'' using ship-model tests
to investigate hull bending moments in regular and irregular waves.
The initial phase of this program, Project SR-l57, covered investigations of
trends of midship bending moment as a function of wave steepness in models of
a MARINER-class cargo ship with variations in freeboard and weight distribution,
a destroyer, and (3) a tanker. Dalzell''2 concluded that, within practical
operational and design limits, no dramatic upper limit of wave bending moments at
amidships is to be expected as the ratio of wave height to wave length increases to
a value of about 1:9.
Since this conclusion was limited to midship bending moments, and it was known
that maximum moments under certain circumstances could occur elsewhere, the next
phase of the study, Project SR-l65, examined the longitudinal distribution of
bend-ing moments in a MARINER-class cargo-ship model in regular waves of extreme steepness.
Maniara4
concluded that, within practical operational limits of speed for the MARINER,
maximum wave bending moments would occur in the region from amidships to 0.]25L aft
of amidships. Thus the practice of concentrating on midship bending moments both in
design studies and in full-scale measurements appears to be justified.
Another part of the investigation involved the testing of the MARINER model in
high irregular waves to obtain time history records of wave bending moment and wave
elevation. Wave and bending moment energy-spectra were computed and used to derive
equivalent regular-wave bending-moment ''response operators'' which were shown to be in reasonable agreement with response results obtained from model tests in regular waves.
Such favorable agreement inspires confidence ¡n the alternate procedure of
using a ''response operator'' from tests in regular waves to predict the energy spectrum
of bending-moment response of either a ship model in a known wave-spectrum or a ship
in a real seaway the energy spectrum of which can be determined. Before taking this
latter step, however, it is necessary to demonstrate satisfactory correlation
be-tween model and ship bending-moment responses.
Over a period of years, full-scale statistical data on midship bending-moment
responses have been collected by the Teledyne Materials Research Company (under
Project SR-l53), on several vessels including (i) the MARINER-class cargo ship
CALIFORNIA BEAR operated by the Pacific Far East Line in trans-Pacific service
between San Francisco and Yokohama and (2) the cargo ship WOLVERINE STATE operating
on the United States-Northern Europe route in the North Atlantic Ocean. Davidson
Laboratory proposed the conduct of scale-model tests of these vessels at various
speeds and headings in regular waves, to obtain bending-moment response operators.
Webb Institute of Naval Architecture, in a parallel effort, proposed an analysis
of statistical data for the ships and the prediction of ship bending-moment
statistics from Davidson Laboratory's model-test results. The tests of the
WOLVERINE STATE model have been reported ¡n Reference 5.
This report describes the tests of the CALIFORNIA BEAR model at Davidson
Lab-oratory, under Project SR-l65, and presents the wave-bending-moment results which
have been used by Webb Institute in their model-ship correlation program under
Project SR-177.
Two ship loading conditions were used in this experiment. Both were taken
from the reported cargo and tankage distributions for actual trans-Pacific voyages
of the CALIFORNIA BEAR, on which the Teledyne Research Corporation had installed
-2-DESCRIPTION OF THE EXPERIMENT
Model
The tests were conducted on a 65-inch (1/96-scale) fiberglass model of a
stand-ard MARINER-class cargo vessel. This model was originally built for the tests
reported in Reference 3. Figure 1 shows the body plan. The model was cut at a
point corresponding to 260 feet aft of the ship's fore perpendicular. The two halves
of the model were connected by the standard Davidson Laboratory two-component
bend-ing-moment balance, illustrated in Fig. 2. This balance consists of two pedestals
with an integral flexure beam of cruciform cross-section milled from a single block
of aluminum alloy. The componental deflections of the beam in its vertical and
lateral planes of symmetry are mechanically amplified by linkages and sensed by
linear variable differential transformers. Figure 3 is a photograph of the model
in profile and a photograph of the setup of the bending-moment balance across the model cut. The midships cut was sealed with a thin sheet of rubber fixed to the hull with vinyl-plastic electrical tape.
An electric propulsion motor was installed to turn a stock four-bladed
pro-peller of approximately the desired scale diameter. The rudder was built to scale
and was operated by a servomotor which formed part of an automatically controlled steering system.
Loadinq Conditions
Pacific Far East Line made available complete records of cargo and tankage distributions for nine voyages covering two years of instrumented operation between January 1966 and December 1967.
Two representative loading conditions were used for ballasting the model.
For the first condition, representing a full load of cargo typical of a westbound
voyage (San Francisco to Yokohama) of the CALIFORNIA BEAR, the loading condition
chosen was that of westbound voyage number 33 of October 1967. The mean draft
on this voyage was nearly identical to the average of the mean drafts of nine
westbound voyages, numbers 25 through 33. Figure 4 is a weight distribution diagram
for westbound voyage 33, and shows a displacement of 16,840 tons at a mean draft, at mid-voyage, of 24.6 feet with a trim of 1.8 feet by the stern.
The second condition was meant to represent a low-density, dry-cargo loading
typical of an eastbound voyage from Yokohama to San Francisco. The average of the
displacements of the nine sample eastbound voyages was 12,000 tons. This value
was too low to be simulated on the model. To facilitate proper ballasting of
the model, the cargo-loading of eastbound voyage 25 of March 1966 was chosen. Figure 5 is the weight distribution diagram for this voyage and shows a displace-ment of 13,900 tons at a mean draft, at mid-voyage, of 20.9 feet with a trim of 3.29 feet by the stern.
Reported cargo and tankage distributions were used to simulate each loading
condition on model scale. Each half of the model was ballasted to the desired
scaled values of weight, LCG, and pitch gyradius. Gyradius was checked by
sus-pending each model-half from a knife edge, oscillating it as a compound pendulum,
and measuring its natural period. The gyradius was calculated from this period
and the distance from the knife-edge to the CG. Tare weights were substituted for
the bending-moment balance to permit separate ballasting of the model-halves. The vertical center of gravity of each half was adjusted to a common value based

Apparatus
The experiment was conducted in Davidson Laboratory's Tank 2 (75' x 75' x 4.5'). This facility includes a wavemaker along one 75-foot side of the tank, a wave
ab-sorber along the opposite side, and a movable bridge spanning the tank.
The bridge
supports a monorail carriage driven by a servo-controlled motor.
Suspended from the carriage is a six-degree-of-freedom motions apparatus which
is servo-driven to follow a self-propelled, automatically steered model in waves.
A vertical heave rod rides in bearings on the apparatus and is attached to the
model through a three-degree-of-freedom gimbal. Power and control wires for the
rudder and propulsion motors, as well as signal cables from the bending-moment
balance, are led upward to the carriage and thence to a recording and control station
at tankside. The moment-balance output signals were fed through a Snborn 350-1100
Series carrier amplifier system, and then through Krohn-Hite Model 335 low-pass active
filters to minimize high-frequency ncise in the records. The signals were then
dis-played by a visicorder Model 1108 as time histories on oscillograph chart paper.
ne heights of all regular waves were calibrated before model tests, by
traversing the "reading" section of carriage travel with a resistance-type wave
probe at the model location. The resulting records of wave-elevation

heading. During each test of the model, the wavemaker speed-control was adjusted
to maintain the wave period used during the wave calibrations. This procedure was
preferred to the measuring of the wave elevation during each model run, because it
is known that model-generated waves can influence wave-probe readings.
Test Procedure
The bridge was positioned for model headings of 180 degrees (head seas),
150 degrees, 120 degrees, 60 degrees, 30 degrees, and zero degrees. At each
head-¡ng angle, at least eight wave lengths were tested and a minimum of three speeds
in the range of 10-22 knots, full scale. A nominal wave height of 1/50 of the
model length was used for all waves except the relatively short ones, for which a
reduced height was substituted. The mean speed of the model was averaged over a
distance of about four model lengths (20 feet).
The bending moment balance was calibrated periodically by applying known moments to the model while it was afloat.
Data Reduction and Presentation
Time histories of vertical and lateral bending moments were reduced to obtain
the average range of moment during the 20-foot interval of model travel. The
phase between the two moments was also determined.
The moment data are presented in dimensional form (bending-moment-amplitude! wave-amplitude in ft-tons/ft) as trends versus ship speed for all wave-length!
ship-length ratios at a given heading angle; separate charts are presented for
vertical and lateral moments. Figures A-1 through A-25 of the Appendix contain
the results for the 20.9-ft mean draft condition; Figures A-26 through A-45 present
the results at 24.6-ft mean draft. The reported bending moments are due solely to
wave-induced loads and are measured with respect to a still-water datum.
Still-water hogging moments were 86,000 ft-tons at 20.9-ft mean draft and 70,000 ft-tons at 24.6-ft mean draft; these are calculated values.
Phase is presented as the lag of lateral moment behind vertical moment for a
given wave-length/ship-length ratio. The phase results are consistent with a
heading-angle convention of representing head seas by 180 degrees and following seas
by zero degrees. At intermediate heading angles, the waves approach the port bow
(150 degrees, 120 degrees), the port beam (90 degrees), or the port quarter (60 degrees, 30 degrees). Each phase angle is the lag of starboard lateral moment behind hogging vertical moment, with a starboard lateral moment corresponding to
a hull-deflection curve which is concave to starboard. The phase results are
presented in tabular form in Tables A-1 and A-Z of the Appendix; a single phase value is given for each combination of heading angle and wave-length/ship-length
rat io.
DISCUSS ION
The object of this investigation was to obtain wave-bending-moment response
-7.-prediction-and-correlation project. The moment curves and phase results in the
Appendix are convenient and practicable for the purpose. Sample response-curves
for the average Pacific crossing-speed of 20 knots have been constructed from the charts in the Appendix and are shown in Figs. 6-13.
The double peaks in some of the vertical-moment curves, Figs. 6, 7, 10, and
Il, have been documented by investigators at the St. Albans Tank in England (most
recently by Murdey6), but only for head seas. Murdey, with the help of
analy-tical predictions of the inertial and hydrodynamic components of veranaly-tical moment,
explains why the peaks occur. He shows that each component contributes one peak
to the total vertical moment. Fukuda,' using an analytical prediction technique,
has found double peaks in vertical-moment response curves for other heading
angles.
A typical set of vertical-moment response curves, Figs. 6 and 7 for example,
shows a consistent tendency for the moment peaks to shift to shorter wave lengths
as the heading angle changes from O or 180 degrees to 90 degrees. In 180-deg
head seas the peak moment occurs in a wave length about equal to the ship length.
Thus it may be visualized that maximum sagging moment occurs when the trough of
such a wave is at amidships with wave crests near each perpendicular. To obtain
a similar wave-ship geometry, at a 120-deg heading, the wave length should be
about equal to the effective ship length (i.e. , L cos ) where L is ship length
and L is heading angle.
Figures 1/4-17 show trends of wave bending moments versus wave length/L cos
for the various heading angles at a ship speed of 20 knots. This method of w
plotting shows that the moment peaks generally occur at a constant value of
wave length / L cos of about 0.9.
Figures 18 and 19 show cross-plots of moments versus heading angle at a
value of wave length / L cos of 0.9; with certain exceptions, noted by
asterisks, these are curves of peak values. Data were taken at too few headings
to permit definition of the angles at which maximum moments occur. However, the
general headings at which highest values occur are head seas for vertical moment
and bow seas (about 130 degrees) for lateral moment. Both moments exhibit
secondary peaks in quartering seas (about 50 degrees). These trends are in
general agreement with analytical predictions for a ship of similar fineness,
7
by Fukuda.
CONCLUDING REMARKS
The primary objective of this experimental model investigation was to obtain
wave-bending-moment data and to reduce them to a form usable by Webb Institute
for correlation with full-scale measurements. This has been accomplished and the
general trends of the results appear reasonable when compared with published data.
Analysis of the results shows that peak moments tend to
occur--At a constant value of wave length/effective ship length, and
In head seas for vertical moment and in bow seas for lateral moment.
In view of the self-sufficient nature of these results, ¡t is recommended
that no further model testing be conducted in connection with the CALIFORNIA BEAR project.

13 ABSTRACT
Vertical and lateral wave bending moments were measured at the
midship section of a 1/96-scale model of the C4-S-1A MARINER-class cargo ship
CALIFORNIA BEAR. The model was self-propelled through a ship speed-range
of 10 to 22 knots at seven headings to regular waves of lengths between 0.2 and 2.0 times the length between perpendiculars; moderate wave heights
rot exceeding 1/50 of the model length were used. Results are presented in
charts of bending-moment-amplitude/wave-amplitude versus ship speed, with
wave length as the parameter. Two ship loading conditions, representative
