David Laurence Hansch: 3458. Methods of Determining the Longitudinal Weight Distribution of a Ship. 2008.

 

Abstract

Approximation methods for weight distribution of ships are surveyed. Grouping methods such as the ‘Bucket’ and station method are also explored. Detail based methods are explained. Finally, an improved method of distribution based on details is proposed. Guidance for the requirements of a weight database for this method is given and an alternative summary method is suggested to overcome difficulties caused by failure to meet certain database requirements of the detail method. Extensive appendices provide necessary figures and equations for using these methods.
