I don't suppose mentioning a "desert-isle" scenario would impress anyone coming after; but somewhere in between that and textbook ideality must...
Long time lurker, first-time poster. (For construction). Needing to intersect two (2) structural tees (in any case—but for this one in...
I very much doubt the author of that article could recite the second law of thermodynamics. In Patrick O'Brian's carefully researched...
We did some work on a 65' aluminum crewboat awhile back that I remember thinking could be converted into a neat expedition-type yacht. Have...
Anyone out in Australia care to regale us with a 'real world' opinion on the system of taxation in Australia? What I've been able to gather...
cristoph, be careful with using 1/2 pontoon depth as your design draft. beyond the pontoons being 1/2 submerged, your TPI decreases exponentially...
it seems unbelievable that all >300 GT ships would go to the effort of installing transponders to satisfy the IMO requirement, and that no agency...
I need to know where a specific ship with an AIS transponder was, in the approximate 180 second interval while at anchor, on the Mississippi in...
I love that site! Just trying to find which organization maintains and archives the data..
Hi all, I need AIS data for a particular ship around mile marker 80 on the mississippi in April, 2008. Does anyone know where this information...
I've been following Wally for some time, and always enjoyed their concept and innovation. But to be honest, the WHY has to be the dumbest, most...
out of curiosity-
fractions are exact 1/1 of the time. you can't say that about decimals.
interestingly, bhattacharyya is the only literature I've come across where he goes to the trouble of spelling out "added mass moment of inertia"...
ha-ha, I think you are correct on that note - I never understood why people so commonly truncate 'added mass moment of inertia' to, simply,...
Alright, thanks My guess was even more conservative, 0.25B for Ixx Thanks for all the help
well is there an accepted average for specific types/sizes of ships? maybe a simple "formula" to give a rough approximation? I'm searching and...
red hell and bloody death.
Thank you, that clarifies - I figured my calculated Ix of the waterplane would have something to do with this, guess not- To be clear, I'm...
Hello, I have calculated the transverse moment of inertia of a ship to be 59,823.3 ft^4 at the DWL. How do I go about finding the mass...
