Abstract:

The riding characteristics of marine vehicles are affected mostly by low-frequency random accelerations. Specific examples of acceleration spectra illustrate the nature and variability of the motions encountered, and the human response data base is discussed in light of the riding characteristics shown. Ride quality evaluation methods are identified and correlated with subjective ride scales. Standard evaluation methodology that uses frequency weighting is recommended.
