Abstract: Forced oscillation tests about the water surface have been carried out with a segmented ship model to measure slamming pressures on two segments. A calculation procedure based on a two-dimensional approach has been proposed. These analytical results, together with those of other theories have been compared with the measurements. The results of the proposed calculation method proved to be rather satisfactory.
