Contemporary Ideas on Ship Stability

This book contains a selection of research papers presented at the 11 th and 12 th International Ship Stability Workshops (Wageningen, 2010 and Washington DC, 2011) and the 11 th International Conference on Stability of Ships and Ocean Vehicles (Athens, 2012). The book is directed toward the ship stability community and presents innovative ideas concerning the understanding of the physical nature of stability failures and methodologies for assessing ship stability. Particular interest of the readership is expected in relation with appearance of new and unconventional types of ships; assessment of stability of these ships cannot rely on the existing experience and has to be based on the first principles. As the complexity of the physical processes responsible for stability failure have increasingly made time-domain numerical simulation the main tool for stability assessment, particular emphasis is made on the development an application of such tools.

The included papers have been selected by the editorial committee and have gone through an additional review process, with at least two reviewers allocated for each. Many of the papers have been significantly updated or expanded from their original version, in order to best reflect the state of knowledge concerning stability at the time of the book's publication.

The book consist of four parts: Mathematical Model of Ship Motions in Waves, Dynamics of Large Motions , Experimental Research and Requirements, Regulations and Operations .

Written by the top experts in the field Presents the principle reference information on the development of the second generation intact stability criteria by International Maritime Organization (IMO) and application of new probabilistic damage stability regulations Gives an inside view into root causes of stability accidents and into risk associated with novel ship designs, such as parametric roll phenomenon Presents a summary of best operation and training practices on stability safety
