What is Maxsurf stability?

What is Maxsurf stability?

Maxsurf Stability provides equilibrium analysis, specified condition analysis, large angle intact stability, damaged stability, longitudinal strength, grounding condition strength and stability, tank loading, tank calibration and several other modes of analysis.

What is TCG in ship stability?

More away the COG is from the centerline, the larger will the ship be listed. Sometimes this distance is also referred as TCG (transverse center of gravity)

What is LCG in ship stability?

The longitudinal position of the CG with respect to any reference point on the ship is called the longitudinal centre of gravity (LCG). Usually, the reference point for locating the LCG is either of the forward or aft perpendiculars.

What is GoM in ship stability?

GoM = Initial metacentric height corrected by free surface effect (m).

What is SF and BM on ship?

Abbreviations. SF – Shear Force. BM – Bending Moment. Longitudinal/Global vs Local Strength. At the outset, it is useful to know the difference between global and local strength of ships.

What is angle of heel?

At some angle of heel (say 10°), KM will increase sufficiently equal to KG (distance from the keel to the centre of gravity), thus making GM of vessel equal to zero. When this occurs, the vessel goes to neutral equilibrium, and the angle of heel at which it happens is called angle of loll.

What is angle of flooding?

THE ANGLE OF FLOODING MEANS AN ANGLE OF HEEL AT WHICH OPENINGS IN THE HULL, SUPERSTRUCTURES OR DECK HOUSES, THAT CANNOT BE CLOSED WEATHER-TIGHT, IMMERSE. SMALL OPENINGS THROUGH WHICH PROGRESSIVE FLOODING CANNOT TAKE PLACE NEED NOT BE CONSIDERED.

What is rake in ship?

The rake of a ship’s prow is the angle at which the prow rises from the water (the rake below water being called the bow rake). A motorcycle or bicycle fork rake is the angle at which the forks are angled down towards the ground.
