Topic | Sub-topic |
Transverse Static Stability | Calculation of the transverse static stability curve and characteristics Grave Angle Calculation of GZ arms for ships with vertical sides |
Dynamic transverse stability | Concept of dynamic stability Concept and calculation of the dynamic equilibrium angle Determination of the heeling arm to cancel stability |
Free surfaces | Variation of the ship's centre of gravity due to the effect of free surfaces Effects on stability and heeling Correction for free surfaces by the approximate method |
Grounding | Concept and types of grounding. Effects of grounding on transverse static stability, heel and draft. Calculation of the reaction on the bottom according to the position of the grounding point. Descent on the tide to cancel out stability. Operations to be carried out in order to be clear of the grounding point. |
Flooding | Types of flooding Loss of buoyancy method Added weight or displacement change method |
Structural strength of the hull | Stresses affecting the ship Longitudinal ship forces Bending theory Maximum permissible bending moment Curves |
Grain shipment | Variation in stability and heel as grain is moved Stability calculations for grain-carrying vessels Stability calculations corrected for grain shifting |
