This book contains a selection of research papers presented at the
11th and 12th International Ship Stability Workshops (Wageningen,
2010 and Washington DC, 2011) and the 11th International Conference
on Stability of Ships and Ocean Vehicles (Athens, 2012). The book
is directed toward the ship stability community and presents
innovative ideas concerning the understanding of the physical
nature of stability failures and methodologies for assessing ship
stability. Particular interest of the readership is expected in
relation with appearance of new and unconventional types of ships;
assessment of stability of these ships cannot rely on the existing
experience and has to be based on the first principles. As the
complexity of the physical processes responsible for stability
failure have increasingly made time-domain numerical simulation the
main tool for stability assessment, particular emphasis is made on
the development an application of such tools. The included papers
have been selected by the editorial committee and have gone through
an additional review process, with at least two reviewers allocated
for each. Many of the papers have been significantly updated or
expanded from their original version, in order to best reflect the
state of knowledge concerning stability at the time of the book's
publication. The book consist of four parts: Mathematical Model of
Ship Motions in Waves, Dynamics of Large Motions, Experimental
Research and Requirements, Regulations and Operations.
During the last decade significant progress has been made in the
field of ship stability. Yet in spite of the progress made,
numerous scientific and practical challenges still exist with
regard to the accurate prediction of extreme motion and capsize
dynamics for intact and damaged vessels, the probabilistic nature
of extreme events, criteria that properly reflect the physics and
operational safety of an intact or damaged vessel, and ways to
provide relevant information on safe ship handling to ship
operators. This book provides a comprehensive review of the above
issues through the selection of representative papers presented at
the unique series of international workshops and conferences on
ship stability held between 2000 and 2009. The editorial committee
has selected papers for this book from the following events: STAB
2000 Conference (Launceston, Tasmania), 5th Stability Workshop
(Trieste, 2001), 6th Stability Workshop (Long Island, 2002), STAB
2003 Conference (Madrid), 7th Stability Workshop (Shanghai, 2004),
8th Stability Workshop (Istanbul, 2005), STAB 2006 Conference (Rio
de Janeiro), 9th Stability Workshop (Hamburg, 2007), 10th Stability
Workshop (Daejeon, 2008), and STAB 2009 Conference (St.
Petersburg). The papers have been clustered around the following
themes: Stability Criteria, Stability of the Intact Ship,
Parametric Rolling, Broaching, Nonlinear Dynamics, Roll Damping,
Probabilistic Assessment of Ship Capsize, Environmental Modelling,
Damaged Ship Stability, CFD Applications, Design for Safety, Naval
Vessels, and Accident Investigations.
