Output-only identification of rigid body motions of floating structures: a case study
Authors: Ruzzo C.,Failla G.,Collu M.,Nava V.,Fiamma V.,Arena F.
In order to identify rigid body motions of floating offshore structures, output-only techniques are very useful for developing low-cost intermediate-scale experimental activities directly into the sea, instead of wave tanks. A crucial parameter, however, is the length of the response records used… Elsevier BV
