Procedures Manual. Dynamic Stability Analysis for U.S. Navy Small Craft

Abstract

This manual presents the procedures and background information necessary to perform a transverse dynamic stability analysis of U.S. Navy small craft. The manual is intended for use by new engineers and technicians who might not be familiar with the stability aspects of Naval Architecture. The procedure has been ordered and sequenced (and work sheets provided) so that the analysis can be performed, comparison made with stability criteria, and conclusions drawn with respect to the adequacy of the craft's stability. The step-by-step method presented will expedite the performance of the analysis, reduce the possibility of errors, and provide complete documentation for design reference. Included is a limited amount of theory explaining each significant step in the analysis. The intent is to provide the analyst with a basic understanding of transverse stability. A complete treatment of the subject may be found in other publications.
