If that is your given requirement, so be it. But all in all I would never use a MPM value for "must work, can't fail, lives depend on it" design....
Welcome to the forums. As you know, frequency domain response analysis is the preferred arena for maximum motion analysis. A Weibull distribution...
Size doesn't matter as actual righting moment scales with displacement. So a 10 ton vessel has the same proportional righting moment/energy as a...
As gonzo said, yes, but remember that as you increase pitch you also increase torque, all else being equal. So you will also need to ensure that...
Note I said small skiffs...like canoe or small panga sized....where a thin skin and shape structurally suffices. This is not a method for large...
Notice they didn't show the bow strike or if there was a fore poppet..... Money says there was structural damage somewhere. But then launching way...
Actually, it is quite common "out island" for small skiffs using a male plug mould and not female pit. Pile up the wet sand, smooth it down with...
As stated by TANSL, displacement and LCG by a set of modern Bonjean curves (i.e. there are more than one type of sets) generally only work for the...
I agree with Ad Hoc; whatever the weld is it should be 100% efficient. For what that is, see the following two guidance manuals. (yeah, old Navy...
Heavier plate and closer frames is about it. Note that wave slap is ~2000 to 4500 psf. But I wouldn't expect much without significant...
So you don't open the relief petcock while cranking it? Yeah, I can see using it a fuel prime. And so that water pump PTO gear doesn't have...
Yeah, I know that many are intimidated when approaching modern high-speed small boat design because they are unsure on the nomenclature. Often...
Annotated pics and some questions. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
It would be interesting to see how they are plumbed, the pipe size, and the pumps if any. Could be for extra moment while beating or reaching,...
Yeah, tell us about that one-lunger...I see a ballast resistor so no magneto? Universal Motor Co. - everythingaboutboats.org...
