MODEL TSSTS-ON T2-SE-AI
ON MIDSHIP BENDING M0MENT3 IN REGULAR VAVES
by J. FUKUDA
Asst. Prof. of Naval Architecture
1. Summary
Model tests of T2-SE-AI on midship bending moments were carried out in September
1960,
at the Experimental Tank of Kyushu University, under the sponsorship of the Wave Load Committee of the Society of Naval Architects of Western Japan. Jointed model, cut in two blocks at midship, was tested in regular head seas having varions wavelengths. To investigate the dynamical effect cf weight distributions on midship bending moments, model was tested in two different
conditions. For the one of these conditions., ballasts on model were
distributed so as to be similar to actual ship in full load. For the
other condition, centres of gravity of fore body and aft body were shifted about 2% ship length towards ship ends, and radius of
gyration of model was slightly lengthend. Then, motions of tnod.el in
two cases were somewhat different, under the sarre condition of wave
and speed. Therefore, values of midship bending moments in two cases, influenced by ship motions and more over by weight
distribu-tin
were considerably different from erch other.(Note: Undr the same sponsorship, the other tests of T2-SE-AI model satisfying the three cnditions that having different weight distributionSand keeping
constant radius of gyration, were carried. out at the
Mitsubishi Experimental Tank at Nagasaki, in December
1960. In these cases, the motions of model are identify one another under the same condition of wave arid speed.
Therefore, bending moments are influenced only by weight
distributionS.)
2. 1ode1 description and testing equipment
The wooden model was cut in two blocks at mid ship, arid jointed
with pivots and connecting rod.
The midship beading moments were
measured by means of strain gauges on both sides of cantilever.
Ship motions were measured by means of potentiometers
attached to
guides at F.P. and A.P.
ivodel was towed in free to heave and pitch,
with constant speed restrained to surge.
FIG.l shows model setup
for tests.
Main dimmensions of T2-SE-AI model are shown in Table I.
Todel was. tested under the two conditions, (A) and (3).
In (A)
condition which satisfies, approximately, the weight distribution
of
actual ship in full load, rriodel is slightly sagged in still water.
In (B) condition, model is condiderably hogged in still water.
Details of (A) and (B) conditions are shown in Table
Aand
For motions of model (heave and pitch), virtual weight equivalent
to inertia effect of guide is represented as
at F.P.
at
A.P.

Various tests
were carried, out in waves and in still water.
Tests in regular head seas
having various wavelengths were made
for(A) and (B) condition. Tests in still water, to determine
the
bend-ing moment d.ue to waves produced
by towed model, were made for only
(A) condition.
