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…
