Thank you @Ad Hoc for your detail explanation. I will also check out the article for more knowledge.
Thank you @RAraujo and @JosephT for your inputs. I can imagine that large ship builders usually don't bother about staggering butts anymore due...
Thanks @Ad Hoc for your reply. So, ship builders like in the following picture and like in @TANSL’s ships can control distortion and shrinkage in...
@bajansailor, thanks for your input, it’s an interesting reasoning that it comes from wooden boat construction. @TANSL, Thank you for your...
As far as I know, common practice is that the transverse weld joints (or butt joints) are arranged staggered, and longitudinal seam lines run...
I'm sorry to dig this thread up again. But, I'm reading this thread again now, but, I don't think I get an answer yet, how to analyze this radius....
In ABS rule (attached note), 1. Bending Moment they assume is simple; one hull out of water and one hull in (in bending moment equation is...
Thanks RX, I suppose your images (viz. LR) give the bracket size to support two structural units, which is similar in concept to that given by...
Thank you both, Ad Hoc and TANSL. I'm totally clear about both things here. (P.S. TANSL I have GL and ABS HSC rules in my hand, but can't find...
Thank you, Ad Hoc. I totally grasp the background concepts of both 1 and 2 now. But, I'm wondering if there's an equation or class guideline as to...
the height of the cut-out can be as high as 50% of the primary member, the rule says. So, doesn't a cut-out that big in the cross BEAM reduce the...
Again, another question about cross structure of a catamaran. I think now I realize how to calculate the scantlings of the members of the...
Thank you all the others, too, who have been answering to my question. I was away from internet during the past days, and couldn't reach to your...
Thank you, Petros, that's what I want to know, exactly. Here, I don't think that good Numeric Control services would be available, that's why I've...
I'm sorry, if my question was too rough. I was talking about a commercial power catamaran here, not a sailing catamaran. I'm afraid if I might...
My question is_ I think there're two configurations of catamaran structures. 1. continuous transverse frames existing in both two hulls and also...
I have found that so many catamarans are designed with continuous transverse frames, as shown in the picture. But, what I have known so far is...
Thanks Barry, u've answered so well straight to the point. That's all I want to know for now. Thank you.
Thanks Barry and SukiSolo. I'm doing a final year project at my university and, my country is very under-developed, and, aluminum material is...
What does Wet Deck refer to? I have a blur idea that it is the bottom plate of the cross-platform structure of the catamaran. Is it correct? And...
