A Comparison Between Measured and Predicted Hydrodynamic Damping for a Jack-Up Rig Model
An extensive set of measurements funded by the EU project Large Scale Facilities Program has been carried out on a model of a jack-up rig at the Danish Hydraulic Institute. The test serieswere conducted by MSC and include determination of base shears and overturning moments in both regular and irreg...
