Comparative Assestment of the Effect of Changing the Breadth (B) of the Ship on the Stability of the Tugboat [PDF]
This paper reviews the effect of changing the breadth of a tugboat before and after production on ship stability. The numerical simulation method (maxurf stability) is applied. Likewise, another approach uses the Benjamin Spence (integrator) method.

Advanced damage stability assessment for surface combatants [PDF]
One of the major contributors to the survivability of a surface combatant is her reduced vulnerability to weapon effects and as such the ship's damage stability characteristics determine a ship's ability to resist the consequences of possible flooding ...

We address the location of the metacenter M of a floating body such as a ship. Previous studies of M in relation to the stability of a ship have mainly used geometrical approaches and were limited to near equilibrium. We develop a quantitative approach to the location of M for a general shape of the cross-section of a floating body in a rolling ...
