Dynamical Stability Formula Sample Problem

The document discusses the dynamical stability of ships, which is defined as the work done in heeling a vessel to a certain inclination. It is measured as the area under the static stability curve, representing the external energy the ship can absorb before capsizing. The document provides formulas for calculating dynamical stability using Simpson's rules to find the area under the stability curve in meter-radians, and includes an example problem.

Lesson 10

DYNAMICAL STABILITY

 The dynamical stability of a ship at any inclination is defined as the work done in heeling
the vessel to that inclination.
 It is the area enclosed within its static stability curve. It gives us the magnitude of external
heeling energy that the ship can absorb before capsizing. ... This means, the ship can now
absorb less external energy (wind, waves, centrifugal force due to high speed turns) before
capsizing
Dynamical Stability = Weight (displacement) x Area under the stability curve
 The Unit is: tonnes-meter-radians

Whereas:
* Finding Area under the stability curve by the used of Simpsons Rules

Thus: h x sum of the product area


Area = ------------------------------ ( meter -deg) Simpsons Rule 1
3

3 h x sum of the product area


Area = ------------------------------ ( meter -deg) Simpsons Rule 2
8

 h= max angle of heel/ (no. of ordinates- 1) or


h= max angle of heel/ no. section or area
 To convert meter-degrees to meter.radian, above answer should be divided by
57.3
Hence; 1 radian = 57.3o

To simplified ( Area under the Stability Curve) :

h x sum of the product area


Area = ------------------------------ ( meter -radians) Simpsons Rule 1
3 x 57.3 o

3 h x sum of the product of area


Area = ------------------------------ ( meter -radians) Simpsons Rule 2
8 x 57. 3 o

 Why need to convert the Area of stability curve to meter-radian?


Ans: Need to convert since unit for the Dynamical Stability is tonnes-meter-radian

SAMPLE

1). USING SIMPSONS RULE 1


A ship 7,400 tonnes displacement has righting levers as follows:

Angle of heel 10° 20° 30° 40° Based on the given , the ordinates are 5, hence
GZ (meters) 0.24 0.36 0.43 0.46 only 4 GZ were mentioned, but it simply
considered that the GZ or Angle of heel start at
Calculate the dynamical stability to 40 degrees heel. zero refer below figure. THUS SIMPSONS
___________________________________________ RULE 1 WAS BEING USED TO SOLVE THE
GZ SM Functions of Area
___________________________________________
0 1 0
0.24 4 0.96
0.36 2 0.72
0.43 4 1.72
0.46 1 0.46_____________
3.86 = SUM OF THE PRODUCT OF AREA

40°
h=--------= 10°
4
h x sum of the product of area
Area under the stability curve= ---------------------------------
3 x 57.3 °

10° x 3.86
= -------------
3 x 57.3 °

Area under the stability curve= 0.2245 meter- radians

Dynamical stability = W x Area under the stability curve


=7,400 tonnes x 0.2245 meter-radians
Dynamical stability =1,661.3 tonnes- meter-radians

NOTE:
1. Given ordinates are odd & areas are even used Simpsons Rule no.1 & used appropriate
Simpsons multiplier
2. Given ordinates are even & areas are odd used Simpsons Rule no.2 & used appropriate
