Prizewinning Papers vol 223, 2009
Every year, the Editorial Board of the Journal of Engineering for the Maritime Environment votes for a prizewinning paper. All papers published in the Journal each year are eligible. In recognition of the high quality work, these papers are now free to download:
Stability of ships, boats and marine vehicles
A most important aspect of the safety of shipping is owed to the inherent stability of the ship itself, both of the basic hull form as well as the hull loaded with the paylod and cargo. The papers in this selection of the Editor's Pick stress the importance of the subject to maritime engineering considering: whether the hulls are mono-or multi-hulls; whether there is on-deck water which could have significant adverse effects; development of experimental versus numerical methods for modelling and analysis of stability phenomena; linear versus non-linear effects; and on-deck versus under-deck stowage of cargo and the loads/stresses on cargo containment and lashing systems:
