Introduction
SWAY MOTION ( )
No Restoring Force ( C = 0 )
No Damping Force ( B = 0 )
Added Mass is not zero because of its dependency on Bod
y Geometry, Frequency and Motion Mode.
Added Mass has two components;
1. Sway Added Mass due to Sway Motion ( A )
2. Sway Added Mass due to Roll Motion ( A )
ROLL MOTION ( )
No Damping ( B = 0 )
Restoring is present from Inclining Moment.
i.e.
C = gV T
V = submerged volume of the foil
= Density of Sea Water
Added Moment has two components;
1. Roll Added Moment due to Sway Motion ( A )
2. Roll Added Moment due to Roll Motion ( A )
INCLINING MOMENT

CONCLUSION
Buoy is having lesser mode of motions compared t
o ship because of its shape.
Damping is not discussed here which is very import
ant for ships and offshore structures.
Centre of Gravity is placed below Centre of Buoyan
cy to achieve greater stability.
Need to study further to understand the Physical be
haviour of a floating body in sway and roll motions.
