Fundamentals of stability & stress

[c] Ocean Motions 1973-2003. All rights reserved AHTS_MAN.doc 11/14/2019 9


FORCES:
Forces pushing down :
Lightweight consisting of structure, outfit, anodes, machinery including lubricating + hydraulic oils, coolants
Tank weights
Liquids below suction levels
Sediment in tank bottoms
Deck loads ie: pipes, joints, bits, collars, wire, crew, stores, containers, sacks….
Weight of Marine growth
Weight of snow and ice
Shipyard blasting grit & crud in voids
Anchors when stowed
Items being lifted by the cranes

The sum of all these weights is a quantity known as displacement


Displacement has units of Short Tons, Long Tons, Tonnes
On odd occasions we have seen displacement expressed in KIPS(thousands of pounds) , kilograms and pounds

Forces pushing up when afloat:


Buoyancy of hull below the waterline
Buoyancy of Marine growth
The total buoyancy equals the total displacement when the vessel is at rest
Hence buoyancy is assigned the same units as displacement; Short Tons, Long Tons, Tonnes

Forces pushing up when stranded:


Grounding force which is the difference between total weight and buoyancy

Archimede's Principle:
Archimedes (a Greek physicist from long ago) concluded that the weight of water displaced = the weight of the vessel

So if we floated your vessel in a large bath tub we could figure out its weight by first measuring the rise in the water
level,
then multiplying this by the length and width of the bath, and multiplying the resulting volume by the density of the water.

EXAMPLE:
Bath length = 400 feet
Bath width = 400 feet
Rise in water level after placing ship in bath = 1 feet
Displaced volume of water = 400 x 400 x 1 = 160,000 cubic feet
Density of salt water = 64 pounds per cubic foot
Total weight of ship in pounds = 160,000 x 64 = 10,240,000 pounds
Total weight of ship in Long Tons = 10,240,000 / 2,240 = 4571.43 L.Tons

SPANS and CENTERS of weights:
The weight of an object is distributed over its contact area.

FWD
Transverse span

Longitudinal span

COG

We also need to find the position of a single point at which the distributed weight is concentrated.
This point is known as the center of gravity often abbreviated to "COG"

Since a weight is three dimensional (3D), we can describe the position of its COG in each of its 3 planes:
Longitudinal center of gravity commonly abbreviated to LCG
Transverse center of gravity commonly abbreviated to TCG
Vertical center of gravity commonly abbreviated to VCG

We need to establish a reference for all 3 of these distances.

LCGs can be measured from a Frame, midships, or any chosen reference.


Ship terminology also introduces the concept of forward and aft perpendiculars.
LCGs also have a sign convention one being positive forward of the reference
TCGs are measured from vessel centerline, either positive to port or positive to starboard
VCGs are measured from the inside of keel plate known as the baseline or from the underside known as keel

[c] Ocean Motions 1973-2003. All rights reserved AHTS_MAN.doc 11/14/2019 11


Center of buoyancy:
We also need to find the position of a single point at which the buoyancy is concentrated.
This point is known as the center of buoyancy often abbreviated to "B"

Since a rig is three dimensional (3D), we can describe the position of its CB in each of its 3 planes:
Longitudinal center of buoyancy commonly abbreviated to LCB
Transverse center of buoyancy commonly abbreviated to TCB
Vertical center of buoyancy commonly abbreviated to VCB

We need to establish a reference for all 3 of these distances.

LCBs can be measured from a Frame, midships, or any reference.


Ship terminology also introduces the concept of forward and aft perpendiculars.
LCBs also have a sign convention one being positive forward of the reference
TCBs are measured from vessel centerline, either positive to port or positive to starboard
VCBs are measured from the inside of keel plate known as the baseline, or from the underside known as keel
ref

LCB

The center of buoyancy is that imaginary point where the buoyant forces can be said to push up on the hull

It is the point in the underwater portion about which the volume is equally distributed in all directions

PORT STARBOARD
left looking forward right looking forward

inside keel plate is baseline

[c] Ocean Motions 1973-2003. All rights reserved AHTS_MAN.doc 11/14/2019 12


Waterplanes:
ref

LCF
LCF

A waterplane is a slice at the sea surface cutting horizontally through the vessel

The center of flotation is that point in the waterplane about which the waterplane area is equally distributed
in all horizontal directions.

LCF is the distance from a reference to the center of the waterplane

Similarly TCF is the transverse location of the center of flotation from a reference, normally the fore and aft centreline

The transverse moment of inertia of a waterplane is a measure of the vessel's resistance to heel

The longitudinal moment of inertia of a waterplane is a measure of the vessel's resistance to trim

[c] Ocean Motions 1973-2003. All rights reserved AHTS_MAN.doc 11/14/2019 13


Moments:
A moment is the product of force multiplied by a distance
EXAMPLE:
the longitudinal weight moment of the liquid in a tank is:
Liquid weight x LCG from reference

By summing the moments for all forces acting down and dividing by the force total, we get the location of the single
center through which all the forces act.

EXAMPLES:
The longitudinal center of gravity for the vessel plus all forces acting on it is found from:

LCG = (lightship longl mom)+( tank longl mom)+(deck load longl mom)+(thrusters longl mom)+(cranes longl mom)
(lightship + tank weights + deck loads + sum of vert components of thrust + sum hook loads)

The vertical center of gravity for the vessel plus all forces acting on it is found from:

VCG = (lightship vert mom)+( tank vert mom)+(deck load vert mom)+(thrusters vert mom)+(cranes vert mom)
(lightship + tank weights + deck loads + sum of vert components of thrust + sum hook loads)

The transverse center of gravity for the vessel plus all forces acting on it is found from:

TCG = (lightship trans mom)+( tank trans mom)+(deck load trans mom)+(thrusters trans mom)+(cranes trans mom)
(lightship + tank weights + deck loads + sum of vert components of thrust + sum hook loads)

Similarly we can find the LCB, VCB,TCB for the buoyancy of the immersed portion of the vessel
This can be done using trapezoidal integration at even keel (zero trim, zero heel) at any draft
This can be done using trapezoidal integration at any trim, any heel at any draft

[c] Ocean Motions 1973-2003. All rights reserved AHTS_MAN.doc 11/14/2019 14


Free surface moments:
A free surface is found in any partially filled liquid container, such as a tank

The destabilising effects of the unrestrained liquids is handled in stability calcs by raising the VCG of the liquid from its
zero heel, zero trim value.

First we find the VCG for all tanks by dividing their sum of vertical moments by their combined weights.
Second we compute the total of the free surface corrections

B
B

For a rectangular liquid surface, the free surface inertia about the axis shown, i = L x B3
12

The free surface moment, FSM = L x B3 x specific gravity of the liquid


12 specific gravity of the seawater in which the vessel is floating

The free surface moment correction, FSMC = sum of all the FSMs
vessel's displacement

This is also known as the virtual rise in VCG

Third we add the virtual rise in VCG to get the quantity KGC

KGC= Height of the center of Gravity above Keel, Corrected for all free surfaces

Hence KGC = KG + FSMC

variable and fixed
tank/compartment centers & free surface moments
You will see a COG [Center Of Gravity] selection in the Calculations Method Box.
For the most realistic modelling use Vrbl in Free Trim, because longitudinal, vertical, and transverse centers of gravity
move around as content vary. Trim, drafts, heel and buoyancy distributions are all affected.
Most importantly free surface moments can change dramatically with liquid height and granular cargo levels.
For compliance with certain regulatory body methods, FIXED uses worst case 100% full centers of gravity regardless of
actual amount loaded.
When you choose Vrbl in Free Trim, WSLPtm uses accurate 3D geometry to determine the heeled and trimmed
CG. This treatment makes KGC and GMC values correct and accurate as illustrated below:

Metacenter:

This is where the line of force of buoyancy pushing up, intersects the vessel's centerplane.

This point is labelled "M"

There is a transverse value labelled KMT:

[c] Ocean Motions 1973-2003. All rights reserved AHTS_MAN.doc 11/14/2019 17


And there is a longitudinal value labelled KML:

[c] Ocean Motions 1973-2003. All rights reserved AHTS_MAN.doc 11/14/2019 18


Metacentric height

Metacentric height = distance between vessel's center of gravity "G" and the metacenter "M"
A floating vessel is stable while GM remains positive

GM is a valid measure of stability at small angles of heel where the righting arm curve is linear,
typically no greater than 5-100

GMC= KM - KGC

There is a metacentric height for heeling (in the transverse plane) called GMTC
There is a metacentric height for trimming (in the longitudinal plane) called GMLC

[c] Ocean Motions 1973-2003. All rights reserved AHTS_MAN.doc 11/14/2019 19


KG Max, KGC Margin
A series of damaged conditions with wind heeling are run by the vessel designers.
The lowest height of the resulting vertical center of gravity in each case is tabulated against draft.
Plots are created for Max allowable KG versus draft, sometimes at different trims
When the KGC is above the curve, you are unsafe

Example:
Sitting in a dinghy, all is well When standing, slightest movement rocks the dinghy

KG Max KG Max

low KGC high KGC


KG Margin is positive KG Margin is negative

KGC Margin should never be less than zero

[c] Ocean Motions 1973-2003. All rights reserved AHTS_MAN.doc 11/14/2019 20


Righting arms and righting moments

G Z

Righting arm at any heel angle = perpendicular separation of weight and buoyancy vectors
= GZ

The buoyancy pushes up to resist whatever is trying to heel the vessel

The vessel is in transverse equilbrium when the righting moment equals the heeling moments

Righting moment = buoyancy force x righting arm

The vessel is in vertical equlibrium when the weight of displaced water = total weight of vessel

So righting moment = displacement x righting arm

stress
shear stress bending stresses
when a section of the loaded hull exerts more the hull bends as a result of uneven distribution
downward force than its neighbor, it exerts a shear of lightweight+tank+deck loads pushing down
stress down across the intersection. against the buoyancy distributed along the hull
Shear force is the algebraic sum of
lightweight+tank loads+deck loads+buoyancy

deck is in tension

keel is in compression

hogging example

In order to compute the strength of the hull we need to know the shear area and moment of inertia of the
longitudinally continuous structural members at a number of places along the hull's length.
The main ingredient is to define the scantling sections, here is an example:

This permits calculation of structural section properties:

we compare the imposed stresses to the yield strength of the hull's steels
beyond 100% of the yield strength, the hull is likely to suffer permanent deformation.

[c] Ocean Motions 1973-2003. All rights reserved AHTS_MAN.doc 11/14/2019 22


damage
A vessel is damaged by holes

The lost buoyancy method as opposed to the added weight method is employed in damage analysis.
The remaining intact portions of the hull's underwater 3D geometry are derived and remaining intact waterplane are
derived and new hydrostatics are computed on the fly.
The rig is brought to damaged equilibrium at its final draft, trim and heel.

Hole below local waterline :


the compartment is flooded, the compartment's buoyancy is lost and the seawater inside no longer pushes down on the
hull, its deadweight is thus set to zero.

Hole above local waterline :


the compartment is not flooded, the liquid contents are lowered to the lowest part of the hole, the compartment's
buoyancy is not lost and its remaining contents are included in the deadweight distribution.

NOTES: WSLP determines whether a hole's lower lip is above or below the local waterline.
Holes may also remove structural members.

program overview
VESSEL : TIDEWATER AHTS
STATES : INTACT
GROUNDED
DAMAGED
WSLPtm in day to day operations :
WSLP is flexible and graphically interactive.
WSLP allows you to evaluate the ship's current or future loading condition.
Quick CalcTM lets you get instantaneous results as you edit a loading condition.
3D on-the-fly calculations are the most accurate, using the 3D hull & compartment models, not fixed tables
Tank contents are displayed in color up to the defined fill level.
The level in the graphical tank screens rises/falls as you edit the ullage/sounding, % full, weight for each tank.
You can drag the liquid levels up/down with your mouse in the graphical views
Colors distinguish each type of liquid ie SWB=dark blue FO=light brown HO=greenish grey
Live tanks receiving levels automatically via the serial link are highlighted in color.
Similarly, deck cargo ie: pipe, casing, drums,, pallets….are color coded and drawn on the decks
You can record cargo condition, origin, destination notes.
Our auto-repeat tool <F5> key, facilitates instant loading of identical weights, soundings, percents full, densities…
We build deck load frameworks, defining the 3D extents of each load.
This leaves the user with the simple task of entering just weights.
Our 3D modelling looks after the lcg, vcg, tcg of each load, but you can change the defaults if necessary.
The user is presented with graphical deck outlines as visual aids.
You can send loading condition files from ship to shore from within WSLP.
When connected to your VMS or IACS, WSLP acquires the sensed inputs of tank levels, mooring tensions, wind,
wave, current, pitch, roll, heave…..in real-time via your PC's serial port.
WSLPtm when thrusters are retracted to transit or maintenance elevations :
The ship's buoyancy distributions have the volumes swept out by retraction removed by damaging compartments.
We have given you prebuilt damage definitions for both transit and maintenance modes.
All you do is use them directly in a calculation item or undamage thrusters, annuli or cannisters that are deployed
in the down position.
WSLPtm when routine ops turn bad :
Then in just a few moves, the user graphically draws in the extents of holes from collisions, explosions…,
the size and direction of the waves...all in the same program, WSLPtm.
The purpose being to provide a means of evaluating intended remedies before any of them are implemented.
You can send the resulting loading condition files from ship to shore from within WSLP.
WSLPtm when connected to tank level and MetOcean sensors:
Ocean current strength and direction….wind velocity and direction…thruster forces and directions…
can be fed into WSLPtm using Ocean Motions COMMS2000 data interchange protocol.

Y2K compliant :
Our programs have been tested to function properly when the date rolls over from 12-31-99 to 01-01-2000.
Date and time are only used in the screen and printed output headers of WSLPtm.
Uninterrupted Y2K operation is determined by the operating system and BIOS chip in your PCs.
This is controlled by Microsoft and your PC maker.

using ‘Help’ :
At any time while running WSLPtm, you can access this manual by clicking on ‘Help’
and selecting ‘Manual’ from the drop down menu.

draft reconciliation
The lower section of the report displays calculated draft at the four draft measurement positions and the mean
(average) draft using the Level Trim Hydrostatics table incorporated in the custom data file for your ship.
To enter observed drafts, click on the Edit… button

A dialog box appears.


Type the observed drafts in the white spaces.
or click “Set Observed Drafts to Computed Drafts” to automatically enter the computed values.

Check the “Accepted” boxes for drafts that show a high R2 (a measure of the how well the Accepted drafts fit on a flat plane).
This feature allows you to see if any one draft reading is erroneous and to ignore it if you wish.
Try entering different Observed Drafts and see how R2 varies as you do so.
An R2 of 1.0000 is a perfect fit to the plane; any three drafts define a plane, so this number has meaning only when you enter
four drafts.
By selectively Accepting three of the four Observed Drafts you can quickly determine if one reading is substantially in error.

[c] Ocean Motions 1973-2003. All rights reserved AHTS_MAN.doc 11/14/2019 48


Is your loading condition complete and accurate?

The buoyancy under the waterplane defined by the Observed Drafts is compared to the weight of the Loading Condition.
Any large difference here indicates that the Loading Condition is either missing some weight or that the weight of some load
item(s) is over or understated.
Either situation will lead to an error in the calculation of hull stresses and KGC Margin.
This line in the report gives a quick indicator of whether your Loading Condition is complete and accurate.

NOTE: after you perform calculations the Report also contains a summary of the computed results

[c] Ocean Motions 1973-2003. All rights reserved AHTS_MAN.doc 11/14/2019 49


Report calculation method
A Report created in the Configure Input section of WSLP accesses the Level Trim Tank Tables that are a part of the
custom data file for your vessel.

Hence the only valid comparison to the 3D calculated results is when you have chosen to use Compartment
COG method "Variable in Level Trim" .

Also note that the Report displays VCG above the baseline, as labelled in the VCG column header.

The 3D calculations add the keel thickness to drafts and total VCG.
This is why the height of the vertical Center of Gravity is named KG, "K" being the underside of the keel plate.

On occasions where designers ignore keel thickness, we also set keel thickness to zero for consistency.
In vessels where the baseline is the upper surface of the keel plate, there will be a difference between
VCG ABL and KG.

When damaged or aground. We protect you from trying to use level trim hydros in such cases
2. Compute actual hydrostatics from the 3D hull model.
This takes a little more time and is the most accurate
When to use:
For most accuracy
When holed
When aground
When heeled and/or trimmed substantially
When not to use:
When you want quick upright results
compartment COG choices
we give you three (3) choices :
Fixed @ 100% Full often required by USCG edict in their CFRs
so no matter how full your tank is, its LCG, VCG, TCG and FSM are those at 100%
Variable in Level Trim pretty close to actual especially at small trims, and is quick
Variable in Free Trim as accurate as you can expect, takes a little longer to compute
convergence
typically set to 0.01%; this means that the program brings the rig to equilibrium such that:
difference between LCB and LCG does not exceed 0.01% of LCG
difference between TCB and TCG does not exceed 0.01% of TCG
difference between rig's total weight and buoyancy does not exceed 0.01% of total weight
convergence can be relaxed to speed up calculation (with commensurate loss of precision)

click on Run Calculation or the Run button

now you see the calculation progress window


you have control over centering the images, zoom, colors, spacing of attitude rings in virtual spirit level

This window allows you to track every iteration to equilibrium.


It is particularly useful when running "compute hydros on the fly from 3D model" and an intensive calculation
such as dynamic stability.
 the current iteration has to complete before the program acknowledges your pressing of the stop button
 If the program 'hangs', then reboot your PC by pressing <Ctrl> <Alt> <Del> keys simultaneously
 before rerunning the calculation, try relaxing the convergence setting (say to .1% or 1%)
click on the close or minimize control at top right

sending .SL2 files via e-mail from within WSLP
sending loading condition files (.sl2) from the ship to Tidewater Ops Office(s) and Ocean Motions:
It is desired that each rig can electronically transmit these files from remote locations around the globe.
WSLP is configured to send your .sl2 file as an attachment.
Each onboard PC is assumed to have a modem and MS Windows 95/98 or NT4.0.
More than likely the computers onboard have MS Outlook or Lotus CC Mail.

You need one of the following e-mail programs:

1.Outlook, Outlook Express, Microsoft Exchange Client or another 32 bit e-mail program that is compatible
with the Messaging Application Programming Interface [MAPI].
Make sure that Mapi32.dll is in the Windows System folder.
OR
2.Lotus cc:Mail or another 16 bit e-mail program that is compatible with Vendor Independent Messaging [VIM].
Make sure that Mapivi32.dll, Mapivitk.dll and Mvthksvr.exe are in the Windows System folder.

Portable CLINOPUTERtm is an electronic instrument that measures KGC in stillwater & at-sea.
Permanent CLINOPUTERtm consists of a PC running our stability software, WSLPtm , and is connected
to our sensors in the CLINO-PAKtm
 tracks changes in lightweight displacement and the three dimensional location of the center of gravity.
