Download or read book Ship Hydrostatics and Stability written by Adrian Biran and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2024-07-29 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ship Hydrostatics and Stability 3e is a complete guide to understanding ship hydrostatics in ship design and ship performance, taking you from first principles through basic and applied theory to contemporary mathematical techniques for hydrostatic modeling and analysis. Real life examples of the practical application of hydrostatics are used to explain the theory and calculations using MATLAB and Excel.The new edition of this trusted resource covers new naval architecture regulations such as Second Generation Intact Stability Code (SGISC), and new case studies based on recent capsize and ship stability disasters. Extensive reference to computational techniques is made throughout and downloadable MATLAB files accompany the book to support your own hydrostatic and stability calculations.The book also includes tables of notations and technical terms, and indexes in French, German, Italian, and Spanish. - Definitions, formulations, and methods are provided throughout to facilitate novices. - Rigorous mathematical proofs of the most important theorems are provided. - Examples based on data from real ships are used throughout the book to explain concepts and procedures.

Download or read book Report of the Re opened Formal Investigation Into the Loss of the FV Gaul written by David Steel and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2004 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication sets out the report of the re-opened formal investigation into the loss of FV Gaul, a fishing trawler last seen off the Norwegian coast in February 1974, resulting in the loss of its 36 crewmen. The original formal inquiry concluded that the vessel had foundered and capsized, without making any distress calls, after being battered by heavy seas. The report is divided into two sections. The first part includes: a brief historical account of the loss of FV Gaul, and the concerns surrounding its loss; the vessel's design features, the regulatory measures in place at the time it was built and its service history; the experience of its skipper and crew; a detailed account of its last voyage and the search and investigation undertaken after it went down; and examination of concerns that its loss was due to involvement in espionage activities during the Cold War, including evidence from two members of the Security Services. The second section looks at: the findings of the maritime accident investigation undertaken in 1998 and the underwater survey undertaken in 2002, including technology used; examination of possible theories to explain the cause of the loss, including whether the vessel was fishing at the time of the loss, whether a snagged submarine cable could have caused the incident, and the prevailing weather and sea conditions. The report concludes that it is probable FV Gaul capsized amid heavy seas, when water ran down open waste chutes and flooded its lower decks, rapidly disabling the crew who were subsequently unable to send a distress call. The report, therefore, rules out other explanations for the loss of the vessel such as collision, seizure by the Russians or any other hostile force, or being pulled down by a submarine due to a snagged fishing net.

Download or read book Robust Motion Control of Oscillatory Base Manipulators written by Masayoshi Toda and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-08-08 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides readers with alternative robust approaches to control design for an important class of systems characteristically associated with ocean-going vessels and structures. These systems, which include crane vessels, on-board cranes, radar gimbals and a conductivity temperature and depth winch, are modelled as manipulators with oscillating bases. One design approach is based on the H-infinity control framework exploiting an effective combination of PD control, an extended matrix polytope and a robust stability analysis method with a state-dependent coefficient form. The other is based on sliding-mode control using some novel nonlinear sliding surfaces. The model demonstrates how successful motion control can be achieved by suppressing base oscillations and in the presence of uncertainties. This is important not only for ocean engineering systems in which the problems addressed here originate but more generally as a benchmark platform for robust motion control with disturbance rejection. Researchers interested in the robust control of mechanical systems operating on unstable bases will find this monograph valuable. MATLAB® and Simulink® programs are available for download to make the methods described in the text easier to understand and to allow readers to experience practical procedures at first hand.
