Large amplitude decay is the constant phenomenon of the
free nonlinear rolling of the ships with bilge keels, in the case of deck submergence in model rolling tests, etc. Several diff-erent methods can be used to interpret the records of model rolling tests. Some of them are inadequately precise for the
rolling with large amplitude decay, some are quite accurate but very complicated. The methods described here enable one to make simple and accurate calculations of damping coefficients with large and small rolling amplitudes decay.
Solving equations for free nonlinear motion, with a harmonic approximation of heel angle and stepwise representation of maxi-mum amplitudes, (Figure l.a) S. N. Blagovescheuskyv obtained
