AN APPROXIMATE METHOD FOR FINDING MAXIMUM KG TO SATISFY THE IMCO INTACT STABILITY CRITERIA

The article demonstrates a simplified method of calculating the critical values of GM to satisfy the IMCO stability standards A, B and C. After obtaining the critical GM, KG is estimated for each variant from initial stability equation. Tables of particulars of correlated ships and comparison of critical values are included.
