Contemporary Ideas on Ship Stability and Capsizing in Waves
Almeida Santos Neves, Marcelo / Belenky, Vadim L. / Umeda, Naoya / Spyrou, Kostas / de Kat, Jean Otto 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 pr...
