Response
amplitude operator (RAO) and accurate seaway representation
For seaway
representation theoretical spectra can be used but it is always preferable to
use the measured spectra which can be obtained through full scale measurement.
On the other hand theoretical spectra can be used for comparison. This paper
presents the results of a full-scale measurement of wave and vessel motions
taken from a Malaysian fishing vessel. The vessel operates off the East Coast
of Peninsular Malaysia. Wave buoy was used to measure wave data and Vessel
Motion Monitoring System (VMMS) was used to measure the vessel motions. They
are basically composed of a set of accelerometers gyroscopes and wind sensors.
The data processing and analyzing is done using LabVIEW software. Finally, the
main analysis of the results obtained is in the form of spectral analysis of
wave and vessel motions. From them the RAO can be obtained, which is the key to
all Seakeeping analysis.
Top 10 richest Malaysians in 2014: Malaysia now boasts a total of eighteen billionaires, up from fourteen a year ago! Let's now take a look at the ten of the richest locals in 2014. As many Malaysians are well aware of, our country is going through a period of lows; our currency, the Ringgit, is weakening, we are experiencing a slowing economy and a lackluster stock market. All these come together to affect those who are earning a regular salary. But all of it is probably nothing more than an extra shrug from the guys on this list – if at all. In fact, some of those on the Forbes’ Malaysia’s Richest Tycoon list (ie the richest Malaysians, as of March 2014) have seen their fortunes increase as well, due to shrewd business decisions (amongst other things) despite economic conditions. Malaysia now boasts a total of eighteen billionaires, up from fourteen a year ago! Let’s now take a look at the ten of the richest locals in 2014.
