Transverse Stability and Longitudinal Trim Articles

Transverse stability is first defined and practical application formulas are presented. The includes the effects of weights and moments on one side. The effects of displaced volume properties on the other side. Concepts like metacentric height are utilized. Then the effects of weight distribution and vessel hydrostatic response in the longitudinal direction are then described and trim formulas are derived and presented for application. Someone with a basic algebra background should be able to understand and benefit from these articles.
