| Abstract | This dissertation deals with end and side launching of marine vessels. Its object is three-fold: first, to review several successful techniques of launching and to describe the problems involved; second, to derive and explain the calculations needed for assuring a successful launching; and third, to propose several computer programs which improve the accuracy as well as shorten the time of these computations. These computer programs are presented in complete detail so that they may be readily changed or enlarged and improved as more data becomes available on the subject of these computations. They are not limited to any particular size or shape of marine vessel. Three of the programs present a major modification in the method of determining the maximum heel angle and time of occurrence when compared with a reference first published in 1944 and still considered to be a major source of information on this subject. In using these computer programs for an actual side launching of a 360 ft., 2100 ton, tank barge, the results compared very well with observed data. |
