Abstract:Motion response of hinged multi-body system is studied in frequency domain based on the linear potential flow theory. Hydrodynamic coefficients and exciting forces are obtained by solving the boundary integral equations, which are implemented by higher order element. The global equilibrium equations of this multi-body system are established by the adoption of constrained matrix, which is derived by the displacement continuous condition. A multi-body system composed of five hinged barges is considered, and the influence of water depth and local seabed on motion response and hinged force is investigated.
