A DYNAMICAL METHOD FOR CALCULATING LATERAL BENDING MOMENTS ON SHIPS IN OBLIQUE WAVES

Abstract

The determination of the bending moment acting on a ship in waves i discussed as a means of assessing the hull-girder stresses. The recent development of techniques for conducting ship model tests in oblique waves makes possible the investigation of the bending moment acting on a ship under these conditions. Due to the asymmetry when the wave heading is other thanAHEAD OR ASTERN THERE WILL BE A COMPONENT OF THE LONGITUDINAL SHIP BENDING MOMENT WHICH ARISES DUE TO SIDE LOADINGS, AND THIS IS DENOTED AS THE LATERAL BENDING MOMENT. The bending moment due to vertical loads, known as the vertical bending moment, is the quantity that has received the major theoretical and experimental study in recent seaworthiness investigations.
