Forced oscillation experiments were carried out with a systematic ship model family of which the length-beam ratio ranged from 4 to 20. The experiments also included a thin plate to simulate the case of an infinite length-beam ratio. Vertical and horizontal harmonic motions in calm water were considered and the corresponding hydrodynamic coefficients were determined. Moreover the vertical motions and added resistance in waves were measured. The results are presented in graphical form and are compared with some existing calculation methods.
