2. 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 ...

3. Ship measurements - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements

   Beam – A measure of the width of the ship. There are two types: Beam, Overall (BOA), commonly referred to simply as Beam – The overall width of the ship measured at the widest point of the nominal waterline. Beam on Centerline (BOC) – Used for multihull vessels. The BOC for vessels is measured as follows: For a catamaran: the ...

   abaft the beam Farther aft than the beam ; a relative bearing of greater than 90 degrees from the bow ; e.g. "two points abaft the beam, starboard side" would describe "an object lying 22.5 degrees toward the rear of the ship, as measured clockwise from a perpendicular line from the right side, center, of the ship, toward the horizon".

   computer-aided design, computer-aided drafting; cadmium [plating] CAGE: Commercial and Government Entity [code] A CAGE code is a unique identifier to label an entity (that is, a specific government agency or corporation at a specific site) that is a CDA, ODA, or MFR of the part defined by the drawing. One corporation can have many CAGE codes ...

6. Centre-to-centre distance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centre-to-centre_distance

   By expressing a distance in c.t.c., one can measure distances between columns with different diameters without confusion. This concept applies to other architectural features that may have variable diameters/widths and spacings, such as pillars or ceiling beams and baffles.

7. Conte di Cavour-class battleship - Wikipedia

   A new bow section was grafted over the existing bow which increased their length by 10.31 meters (33 ft 10 in) to 186.4 meters (611 ft 7 in) and their beam increased to 28.6 meters (93 ft 10 in). Their draft at deep load increased to 10.02 meters (32 ft 10 in) for Conte di Cavour and 10.42 meters (34 ft 2 in) for Giulio Cesare. [24]

8. French battlecruiser proposals - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_battlecruiser_proposals

   Durand-Viel's first battlecruiser design, "A", was built on a displacement of 27,500 t (27,100 long tons; 30,300 short tons). The hull was 210 meters (690 ft) long at the waterline, with a beam of 27 m (89 ft) at the waterline and an average draft of 8.7 m (29 ft). The ships would have been equipped with four sets of direct drive turbines rated ...

   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 ...
