The Design Of Ship’s Lines And Considerations On Form And Resistance
Author: R. Allan B.Sc., (Foreign Member).
Year: 1928
The original article was read before the Newcastle Branch in 1918, and was printed. The present pamphlet is a revised edition. The matter has been brought up to date and extended. Last Session, 1917-18, two of our members, Messrs. Steele and Larkin, read before this Branch a very interesting paper on the determination of ship proportions and machinery dimensions. That paper, to a large extent, dealt with the fixing of the dimensions to carry a certain specified deadweight. In it the lines and sectional area curve were briefly mentioned. Starting from this point, it is proposed to discuss in detail, in the first portion of this work, various methods of constructing body plans from previous successful designs; and, in the second portion, to examine the latest model experiment tank results for guidance in the choice of the best possible sectional area curve and proportions for specified conditions. This work is primarily intended for shipbuilders, but the second portion, which necessarily will largely deal with resistance, should interest engineers. To properly design ship lines, the sectional area curve should be first fashioned, but in nine cases out of ten in ordinary practice, the
