Topic 6: Longitudinal Strength: Wave Bending Moments<br />

Introduction<br />

In this Chapter we will<br />

• Discuss the shape <strong>of</strong> ocean design waves<br />

• The moments caused by waves<br />

Design Waves<br />

Cape Spear<br />

Design wave forces are considered to be quasi-static. As a wave passes by a vessel,<br />

the worst hogging moment will occur when the midbody is on the crest <strong>of</strong> a wave<br />

<strong>and</strong> the bow <strong>and</strong> stern are in the troughs. The worst sagging moment will happen<br />

when the bow <strong>and</strong> stern are on two crests, with the midbody in the trough between.<br />

Whether for sagging or hogging, the worst condition will occur when the wavelength<br />

is close to the vessel length. If the waves are much shorter,
