Design for Stability and for Instability – Finding the Right Balance [2004].
Year: 2004 Language: english Author: Richard Birmingham Genre: Conference Format: PDF Quality: OCR without errors Pages count: HISWA Description: The fundamentals of stability have been understood for over 200 years, however it is only in the last two decades that detailed consideration has been given to the stability behaviour of small craft at very high angles of heel, up to the completely inverted condition. The importance of this knowledge in the design of yachts and other small craft is considered, and the significance of our current understanding is reviewed in the context of procedures based on static stability analysis. The results of undertaking a design exercise with stability as the principal design driver is explored, and the practicality of such a procedure is discussed. Recent research that has produced results relevant to the stability of vessels in the inverted condition is briefly described and reviewed.

Description: The fundamentals of stability have been understood for over 200 years, however it is
only in the last two decades that detailed consideration has been given to the stability
behaviour of small craft at very high angles of heel, up to the completely inverted
condition. The importance of this knowledge in the design of yachts and other small
craft is considered, and the significance of our current understanding is reviewed in
the context of procedures based on static stability analysis. The results of undertaking
a design exercise with stability as the principal design driver is explored, and the
practicality of such a procedure is discussed. Recent research that has produced
results relevant to the stability of vessels in the inverted condition is briefly described
and reviewed.
