... to obtain transfer functions from irregular following sea ship motions is complicated by the combined effects of very low encounter frequencies and the “folding” of the sea spectra. This results in having both overtaking and encountered waves of the same encounter frequency but different wavelengths...

...Dag Myrhaug; Lars Erik Holmedal The spectrum of seabed shear stresses at beds with large roughness beneath ocean surface waves in finite water depth is derived by using the wave friction factor for large roughness. It is expressed in terms of the transfer function between the waves at the surface...

..., which results from the summation of short term distribution of maxima weighted by their probability of occurrence. The short term stationary seastates are represented by energy spectra and the ship responses by linear transfer functions. The second one is a generalization of the former and it accounts...

... the transfer functions of the top 50 m (164 ft) of soil and of each layer in the discrete soil model. The resulting sediment properties fall well within the expected range, indicating the potential of the proposed exploration approach for characterizing deep-water sites.
