Damage Stability Calculations

To check if a vessel would float in a damaged condition, you need to calculate the reserve buoyancy and angle of immersion. The reserve buoyancy is equal to the freeboard times the total perpendiculars coefficient. If the displacement of the damaged compartment is greater than the initial reserve buoyancy, the ship will sink. You then need to calculate the new draft, trim, GM, and angle of heel using the constant displacement method and stability booklet data. Comparing the angle of heel to survivability criteria indicates whether the vessel could survive the damage.

TO CHECK IF YOU WOULD FLOAT IN A

DAMAGED CONDITION YOU WOULD NEED TO


KNOW YOUR RESERVE BUOYANCY AND THE
ANGLE OF IMMERSION.

AS A THUMB RULE, THE RESERVE BUOYANCY


= FREEBOARD X TPC

IF THE DISPLACEMENT OF THE


COMPARTMENT DAMAGED IS MORE THAN THE
INITIAL RESERVE BUOYANCY, THE SHIP WILL
DEFINITELY GO DOWN.
THE ANGLE OF DECK EDGE IMMERSION
CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE GENERAL
ARRANGEMENT OF MIDSHIP PLAN BY
USING THE NEW DRAFT AND A
PROTRACTOR.

WE NOW FURTHER NEED TO CALCULATE


THE FOLLOWING TO CHECK THE
SURVIVABILITY OF THE VESSEL

1. DRAFT,

2. TRIM

3. GM, AND

4. ANGLE OF HEEL.
 TO START WITH , YOU MUST HAVE THE
STABILITY DATA OF YOUR ORIGINAL INTACT
CONDITION AVAILABLE. ALL THE
CALCULATIONS HERE ARE BASED ON THE “
CONSTANT DISPLACEMENT” METHOD OF
CALCULATION.
 CALCULATING MEAN DRAFT
 MEAN SINKAGE = (µ V)/ (A-a)
 µ = PERMEABILITY
 V= VOLUME OF COMPARTMENT
 A=WATER PLANE AREA = 100 TPC/1.025
 a= WATER PLANE AREA OF DAMAGED
COMPARTMENT
 NEW MEAN DRAFT = INITIAL MEAN
DRAFT + SINKAGE.
 CALCULATING GM
 G IS THE SAME POSITION AS BEFORE.
HOWEVER, M MOVES . THE INITIAL KG IS
KNOWN
 FINAL GM’ = KM’-KG
 KM’ = KB’ + B’M’
 THEREFORE
 GM’ = KB’ + B’M’ – KG
 NEW KB’ = (∆ KB + V (D +S/2) / ∆
 ∆ = VOLUME OF DISPLACEMENT
(UNCHANGED)
 KB = INITIAL KB
 V= VOLUME OF COMPARTMENT
 D= INITIAL DRAFT
 S= SINKAGE (PREVIOUSLY CALCULATED
 TO FIND B’ M’ (WHEN NOT HEELED)
 B’M’ = BM – l b3/12∆
 BM =INITIAL BM
 Where l = length of W.P.Area of Compt.
 b = breadth of ----------do ------------.
 ∆ = initial displacement .
 THE ABOVE IS TRUE FOR ONLY FOR
SYMMETRICAL FLOODING ( NO LIST ).
 TO FIND B’ M’ (WHEN HEELED)
 B’M’ = BM – l b3/12 ∆ - l b X2/∆
 WHERE X – DISTANCE OF WATER PLANE
AREA OF COMPARTMENT FROM
 CENTERLINE ( THIS CAN BE MEASURED
OF FROM THE GENERAL ARRANGEMENT
PLAN)
 THEREFORE NEW OR FINAL
 GM’ = KB’+ B’M’ – KG
 TO FIND THE TRIM, WE NEED TO FIND
THE MCTC AND THE NEW LCF.
 MCTC = ∆ GML/ 100L ≅ ∆ BML/100L
 WHERE L = LBP.
 B’ ML’ IS FOUND IN A SIMILAR WAY AS
THE TRANSVERSE BM.
 NEW B’ML’ = BML- bl3/12 ∆ - lbY2/∆

 WHERE Y = DISTANCE OF WATER PLANE


AREA OF COMPARTMENT FROM
CENTERLINE ( THIS CAN ALSO BE
MEASURED OF FROM THE GENERAL
ARRANGEMENT PLAN)
 BML OR KML IS FOUND IN THE STABILITY
BOOKLET KML = KM + BML
 TO FIND THE POSITION OF THE NEW LCF
 POSITION OF NEW LCF = (A LCF – a Y ) /
(A-a)
 REMEMBER THAT LCF WILL SHIFT
TOWARDS THE DAMAGED COMPARTMENT.
 Y=CENTER OF GRAVITY OF
COMPARTMENT FROM AMIDSHIPS
 A=WATER PLANE AREA
 a= WATER PLANE AREA OF DAMAGED
COMPARTMENT
 LCF = ORIGINAL LCF FROM AMIDSHIPS
 TO FIND TRIM :
 CHANGE IN TRIM = VY’ / MCTC
 V= VOLUME OF COMPARTMENT
 Y’ = DISTANCE OF CENTER OF GRAVITY OF
COMPARTMENT FROM NEW LCF
 MCTC = PREVIOUSLY CALCULATED.

 
NEW TRIM = OLD TRIM ± CHANGE IN TRIM
 CHANGE IN TRIM WILL BE IN THE
DIRECTION OF THE DAMAGED
COMPARTMENT. THIS CAN BE APPLIED TO
THE NEW HYDROSTATIC DRAFT
CALCULATED EARLIER.
 TO CALCULATE ANGLE OF HEEL :
 TAN θ = VX/ ∆ GM’
 θ = ANGLE OF HEEL
 V= VOLUME OF DAMAGED COMPARTMENT
 X = DISTANCE OF CENTER OF GRAVITY
OF COMPARTMENT FROM CENTER LINE.
 (VX= LISTING MOMENT)
 ∆ = DISPLACEMENT
 GM’ = NEW GM ( CALCULATED EARLIER).
