Study of Bulk Cargo Influence Upon Ship's Righting Lever


Abstract in English

This paper presents a new method for studying the bulk cargo behavior and its effects on righting lever. Effects of cargo sliding in holds are computed for each heel angle. The deficiency of righting lever is quantitatively computed and plotted on the designed application windows. For the first time a three characterizing angles are presented here, what offer a new clear vision about the cargo sliding steps.
