Abstract:The problem has been treated of determining deflections and bending moments of the barge hull and independent cargo tanks combination as these occur in Class I and Class II barges during grounding. The method of solution is that of the initial parameters, which is here developed by means of operational calculus. The solution is closed and exact within the limitations of the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory.
