368 Ship Stability for Masters and Mates
Summary sketches for the two worked examples relating to shear stress
Fig. 43.11
In a loaded ship with a wave crest or trough amidships, the shearing force attains its maximum value in the vicinity of the neutral axis at about a quarter of the ship's length from each end. The minimum shearing force is exerted at the keel and the top deck.
Bending stresses in the hull girder
Example
The effective part of a transverse section of a ship amidships is represented by the steel material shown in Fig. 43.12 (also see note at the end of this chapter).
