Department of Mathematics, Islamic Azad University, Kermanshah branch, Iran Abstract: This paper investigates mathematical modelling of the problem by considering the ship motion to be single or response amplitude operator (RAO) or transfer function using the multiple degrees of freedom (S/M-DOF). frequency-based analysis for uncoupled roll motion of a floating Early research in ship hydrodynamics was developed body under the influence of small amplitude regular waves. The primarily in calm water conditions till the pioneering work hydrodynamic coefficients are computed using strip theory of Weinblum and St. Denis (1950) which focused attention formulation by integrating over the length of the floating body. Considering sinusoidal wave with frequency ( ω ) varying between on sea environment and subsequently extensive work 0.3 rad/s and 1.2 rad/s acts on beam to the floating body for zero followed by various researchers (St. Denis and Pierson, forward speed, analytical expressions of RAO in frequency domain 1953; Korvin- Kroukovsky, 1955; Korvin-Kroukovsky and is obtained. Using the normalization procedure and frequency based Lewis, 1955). Tick (1959) in his
