    REFERENCE ROOM Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering ft* University of Michigan Ann Arbgr, M g109 THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS AND THE RESISTANCE OF LARGE, TOWED, SEAGOING BARGES J. L. Moss Corning Townsend III Submitted to the SOCIETY OF NAVAL ARCHITECTS AND MARINE ENGINEERS Under p. O. No. 360 September 15, 1967 In the last decade, -ocean-going unmanned barges have become an increasingly important segment of our merchant marine. These vessels, commonly over 400 feet long, and sometimes lifting in excess of 15,000 L.T. dead weight, are usually towed on a long hawser behind a tugboat. Because the barges are inherently directionally unstable, twin out- board skegs are attached to achieve good tracking. Model tests are conducted in order to determine towline resistance and the proper skeg position which renders the barge stable. Skegs, vertical appendages similar to rudders, are placed port and starboard on the rake. They create lift and drag, and move the center of lateral pressure aft, thus tending to stabilize a barge towed on a long line. At The University of Michigan many such model experiments have been conducted within the past several years. Since these tests have been carried out for various industrial con- cerns and on specific designs, systematic variations of parameters or other means of specifically relating the results have not been possible in most cases. Nevertheless, on the basis of the results of these largely unrelated tests, recom- mendations can be made regarding good design practice and some specific aspects can be demonstrated.

    Rapier 550 - Standard Specification

    Page 1 of 11 Rapier 550 - Standard Specification Construction The structure of the Rapier 550 is of a modern lightweight construction using the using the latest resin infusion processes and combines high strength Epoxy resin systems throughout the entire structure with a combination of E glass, Kevlar and carbon laminate stiffened by PVC cores to produce an exceptionally strong and light structure optimised for performance sailing. The hull has an exterior gel coat finish with vinylester skin and choice of colours. Everything is female moulded in hi-quality production tooling. The deck and superstructure has an integrally moulded anti-slip surface in places where needed – especially in all areas where crew or guests walk or require access to operate the vessel. The Broadblue Rapier 550 is virtually unsinkable due to its watertight bulkheads, cored construction and buoyancy compartments fore and aft in each hull. Each compartment is separate and sealed off to control water ingress if damaged. All internal textures are a combination of painted, light weight linings, timber and textile trims. The skeg keels of the R550 are separately moulded and bonded to the hull structure, maintaining the integrity of the hull even if the keels are damaged or detached. Other keel options are also available, including low aspect ratio fixed keels, dagger boards and steerable canards. Outside Deck areas Side decks are moulded with non-slip integral to the construction (aft sections can have optional teak/teak-alike surface). All windows to saloon and coach-roof are constructed from appropriate thickness toughened glass. Clear toughened glass on all windows forward of the mast, tinted and heat rejecting glass for roof lights and side and rear windows to aft saloon area.

    Calculation of the Dynamic Characteristics of Ship's

    POLISH MARITIME RESEARCH 1 (105) 2020 Vol. 27; pp. 107-115 10.2478/pomr-2020-0011 CALCULATION OF THE DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF SHIP’S AFT STERN TUBE BEARING CONSIDERING JOURNAL DEFLECTION Hongjun Yang Shanghai Merchant Ship Design & Research Institute, China Jun Li Shanghai Merchant Ship Design & Research Institute, China Xiaolong Li Nantong COSCO KHI Ship Engineering Co.,Ltd., China ABSTRACT Dynamic properties are vital for the working reliability of aft stern tube bearings. However, the determination of such properties currently involves several simplifications and assumptions. To obtain its dynamic characteristics accurately, the aft stern tube bearing was divided into several bearing segments. The oil film reaction force was considered in the calculation of shaft alignment, and the journal deflection and actual oil film thickness were obtained accordingly. Subsequently, the perturbed Reynolds equation was solved using the finite difference method when the dynamic characteristics of journal bearings with finite width were evaluated. Then, a calculation program was developed and verified by comparing with the results of other studies. Finally, the dynamic characteristics were calculated under different revolutions. The results showed that the stiffness at the vertical direction of the aft stern tube bearing was several times that of the horizontal direction and varied with the revolutions of the shafting system. These findings can provide the foundation for the precise calculation of the journal trajectory under dynamic conditions, as well as for the evaluation of the oil film thickness. Moreover, the results led to favorable conditions for the accurate calculation of the shafting whirling vibration. Keywords: journal deflection, aft stern tube bearing, dynamic characteristic.

With historical knowledge, vessel stats and fun facts, you will be able to recognize the tall ships, identify their key features and tout a little trivia! Fifteen international tall ships are scheduled to participate in the TallShips®LA, maritime event. Visiting ships include the Argus, Bill of Rights, Californian, Mexico’s Cuauhtémoc, Exy Johnson, Antigua’s Kaisei, Lynx, R. Tucker Thompson of New Zealand, Pilgrim, Robert C. Seamans, Royaliste, Spirit of Dana Point, Swift of Ipswich, Talofa and Tole Mour. For most people, a tall ship is a sailing vessel with three or more masts and many sails, as seen in the bygone era of the Errol Flynn movies. A tall ship, by definition, is a sailing vessel whose masts are in segments, made up of several timbers in order to give strength, and to make each mast more manageable for partial removal and repairs. The nostalgic definition is more commonly used when referring to any sailing vessel that provides sail training and participates in events such as tall ship races. For classification and race settings, the International Sail Training Association divides tall ships into three classes and several sub classes according to the vessels, sparred length and rig. A rig is the configuration, shape and number of the spars, poles, and sails. For further clarification, sailing rigs are divided into two broad categories determined by the fore and aft rig in which triangular shaped sails lie along the same direction as -more- TALL SHIPS 101 2-2-2 the ship's length, or the square rig which has squared or rectangular shaped sails attached to poles, which are perpendicular to (or go across) the vertical mast.
