It has a subjective component, no doubt, but a technician must design with objective values that prevent excessive deflection, which would lead to...
Deflection, allowable strength or both parameters?. This could be a more correct question. What do you think?.
I have attached a document in which I explain how I calculate the deflection of the stiffeners.
The ISO standard considers that the panels have all four edges fixed, not supported. Based on this assumption, I use the formulas from thin plate...
Welcome to the forum. I assume you're referring to the study of stability after damage (not the calculation of floodable lengths). Each type of...
Hello @hashtag_laeuft , here are the results I have for your boat.
It would be helpful to specify the parameter you are using to define stability. If you are referring to initial stability, or metacentric height,...
It's a bit late to review your calculations, so I won't do it until tomorrow. Regarding deflection, I don't think I explained myself well. I don't...
Even without water accumulation, the ISO standard always provides a design pressure for each panel, depending on its location. Water doesn't need...
LOL
I calculate the panels, in general, so that their maximum deflection is less than half their thickness. Consider a load of 4 people per square...
Hi @EllieO , welcome to the forum. You're saying several things that could lead to complete failure. A 12x4 (feet, meters?) boat is already...
..... and, above all, as long as it is perfectly watertight.

Hi @sun, I've sent it to you again. Maybe your antivirus is considering it spam. Check your spam folder or similar.
