2. Ship measurements - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements

   Grain Cube (or Grain Capacity) – The maximum space available for cargo measured in cubic metres or feet, the measurement being taken to the inside of the shell plating of the ship or to the outside of the frames and to the top of the beam or underside of the deck plating. It is a measurement of capacity for cargoes such as grain, where the ...

3. Beam (nautical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_(nautical)

   Graphical representation of the dimensions used to describe a ship. Dimension "b" is the beam at waterline.. The beam of a ship is its width at its widest point. The maximum beam (B MAX) is the distance between planes passing through the outer sides of the ship, beam of the hull (B H) only includes permanently fixed parts of the hull, and beam at waterline (B WL) is the maximum width where the ...

4. Camber (ship) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camber_(ship)

   The camber is a measure of lateral main deck curvature in naval architecture. The curve is applied to a deck transversely, measured as the height of deck at centreline above the height of deck at side. The practice of adding camber to a ship's deck originated in the era of small sailing ships.

5. Hogging and sagging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hogging_and_sagging

   Hogging is the stress a ship's hull or keel experiences that causes the center or the keel to bend upward. Sagging is the stress a ship's hull or keel is placed under when a wave is the same length as the ship and the ship is in the trough of two waves.

6. Builder's Old Measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Builder's_Old_Measurement

   Beam is the beam, in feet. Depth is the depth of the hold, in feet below the main deck. The numerator yields the ship's volume expressed in cubic feet. If a "tun" is deemed to be equivalent to 100 cubic feet, then the tonnage is simply the number of such 100 cubic feet 'tun' units of volume.

7. Frame (nautical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_(nautical)

   The clamp supports the transverse deck beams, on which the deck is laid. References Further reading. Turpin, Edward A.; McEwen, William A. (1980). ...

8. Deflection (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflection_(engineering)

   In this case, the equation governing the beam's deflection can be approximated as: = () where the second derivative of its deflected shape with respect to (being the horizontal position along the length of the beam) is interpreted as its curvature, is the Young's modulus, is the area moment of inertia of the cross-section, and is the internal ...

9. Hull (watercraft) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull_(watercraft)

   Hull form lines, lengthwise and in cross-section. A hull is the watertight body of a ship, boat, submarine, or flying boat.The hull may open at the top (such as a dinghy), or it may be fully or partially covered with a deck.
