Abstract
In this thesis, a system of four sensors for measuring tri-axis translational accelerations and rotational velocities is designed. The sensors were mounted with a spatial

distribution on board the ship model C/S Arctic Drillship. Experiments were carried

out and sensor data was collected for waves with various periods and incoming directions.

The distributed acceleration measurements were used to estimate translational

and rotational accelerations in Center of control. By comparing the estimated accelerations with the high-accuracy measurements from Qualisys, it was found that the system provides

good estimates of the accelerations in Center of control. In addition, the local tri-axis

translational accelerations in each sensor frame was estimated, to detect spatial variability of accelerations. This method also performs well, and provides a representation

of local forces in the hull.

Three methods to estimate the direction of incoming waves are proposed, where

one is based on correlation between motion in roll, pitch and yaw, and the two others

are based on local accelerations inside the hull. Analysis of motion in roll, pitch and

yaw gave some results. Analysis of the horizontal accelerations in the hull was not

successful as to detect the surrounding force field, while the heave accelerations gave a

better image of the surrounding waves and forces. An algorithm for online estimation

of direction of incoming waves was proposed, which was able to predict the direction

of incoming waves for some periods.

For a short video of some of the experiments and findings, the reader is referred to https://vimeo.com/222068786. In this video, the spatially distributed accelerations in each sensor are shown when the waves hit the vessel
