Bending Moment Calculations<br />

The ‘design’ bending moment is the combination <strong>of</strong> Stillwater bending <strong>and</strong> wave<br />

bending. To calculate these values we will make the following assumptions;<br />

1. Ship is a beam<br />

2. Small deflection theory<br />

3. Response is quasi-static<br />

4. Lateral loading can be superimposed<br />

Still Water Bending Moment (SWBM)<br />

The still water bending moment is calculated from the effect <strong>of</strong> the weights <strong>and</strong><br />

buoyancy in calm water. The buoyancy force is a line load (e.g. kN/m). The local<br />

buoyancy per meter is found from the x-sectional area <strong>of</strong> the hull at each location.<br />

The x-sectional area depends on the local draft <strong>and</strong> are found from the ‘bonjean’<br />

curves.
