References
Specific references required are normally stated in the electronic
worksheets.
Read the articles "Understanding
Stability" and "Understanding
Trim" to get a foundational understanding of how to use many of
these templates. This article describes fundamental concepts that
must be grasped for doing effective stability calculations. It
cover's the vessel's weight contribution, the vessel's shape
(hydrostatic) contribution and how to tie these two sets of input
together for determining transverse stability. The article is for
transverse stability but the concepts do carry over into longitudinal
stability.
Another method to learn about stability is to
study simple barge stability and then progress to more complex boat
an ship shapes. See the article entitled "Quick
Barge Trim, List and
GM (Initial Stability) Calculations."
The parallel axis theorem is important both to
structures and stability. There is an article entitled "The
Parallel Axis Theorem."
The following are some general references that are
recommended for background preparation.
