Q: I have a rectangular barge modeled as a line of beams with a uniform load distribution. Why are the structural bending moments and shears not what I get from statics? REV 7.00 A: The difference is the way the loads are applied. The weight is divided…

Q: Why is the hydrostatic bending moment different from the structural one computed from RAOs? REV 7.05 A: The two results deserve to be different: For the hydrostatic bending moment, MOSES assumes that the wave changes the shape of the water surface…

Q: We conducted the longitudinal strength assessment of a ship with three different softwares, and the maximum bending moments, calculated by two are quite similar. But comparing these maximum bending moments to the ones computed in the MOSES show large…
