Let me explain each of these terms in the context of naval architecture and ship design. stiff and tender ship- Complete details 1. […]
Sheer strake is a term used in ship construction to describe the uppermost strake of the side shell plating. A strake is a section of plate placed in fore and aft direction on the hull of the ship. The shear strake is usually of higher thickness and strength than other strakes, because it can resist […]

Stresses on ship have been discussed here. A ship like other objects is subjected to both stress and strain, and since the size of the ship is large, they serve a great importance. Ship is subject to stress and strain because loading, buoyancy, weather and machinery. All of them have different effect on ship structure. It […]
Inclining Experiment is discussed in this article which is used to determine the metacentric height of a ship. Metacentric height or GM, is crucial and critical for a ship stability. If the GM of the ship is more, than ship become stiff. This makes ships to roll but come back to original place very fast. […]
Learn about center of gravity of ship and how does it changes when there is a movement of mass on the ship. Concept of Center of Gravity COG of an object is the point at which the whole weight of the object may be regarded as acting. If this object is suspended from COG, then it will remain balanced […]
Read about free surface effect in vessels and the methods that are used to reduce the same. If, free surface effect is not corrected, then it posses great threat to the stability of the ship. Tanker ships mostly have problem with this type of effect. Let’s see what it is and how we tackle in real scenarios. Concept of Free […]
