Catamaran Float-Over Tests & Simulations: Mating Operations and Hydrodynamic Tools Revision. Hydroelastic modeling refinement - Final Report - part II.

This document is the progress report relative to the Work Package 1 (WP2 "Hydroelastic model refinement") for the industrial research project (IRP) named "Catamaran Float-Over Tests & Simulations: Mating Operations and Hydrodynamic Tools Revision" (TECHNIP Purchase Order ITENG000159) to support the Conceptual Design developed by Technip Italy (TPIT) who have awarded CNR-INSEAN on April 2016 to carry out the necessary activities. This deliverable focuses then on the revision of the Phase II (hydroelastic part), the experimental calibration of the strain-gages and the development of a new approach to the hydroelastic modeling for the station-keeping problem
