1 1 Current Status of Second Generaton Intact Stablty Crtera Development and Some Recent Efforts Naoya UMEDA Osaka Unversty ABSTRACT The paper summarses the current status of the second generaton ntact stablty crtera development for all fve falure modes n the correspondence group establshed at SLF 55. Some ponts to be dscussed n publc are remarked and some recent works for them by the author are also presented. The dscusson ponts ncludes that desgn measures for avodng parametrc roll of contanershps and car carrers, safety levels of three layers and the methodology for excessve acceleraton ssues. KEYWORDS Parametrc rollng, pure loss of stablty, broachng, dead shp, excessve acceleraton INTRODUCTION At the Internatonal Martme Organzaton (IMO), the second generaton ntact stablty crtera are now under development. These crtera are based on physcs so that they are expected to be applcable to any shps n prncple. Thus the use of new crtera could allow us to desgn completely new shps sutable for new era wthout emprcal restrctons. The new crtera wll be mandatory n the long run by beng referred n the SOLAS and LL conventons for passenger and cargo shps of 24 meters or longer. (Francescutto and Umeda, 2010) The second generaton crtera deal wth fve falure modes: pure loss of stablty n astern waves, parametrc rollng, broachng, harmonc resonance under dead shp condton and excessve acceleraton. For each falure mode, the frst and second level vulnerablty crtera and the drect stablty assessment procedure as the thrd level wll be developed. A shp s requred to comply wth one of the three crtera for each falure mode. Here the lower level crtera requre smaller effort for the desgner but wth larger safety margn. In case the shp fals to comply wth the second or thrd level crtera, operatonal lmtaton or gudance shall be developed based on the outcomes of the appled crtera For pure loss of stablty n astern waves, parametrc rollng and broachng, the drafts of the frst and second level crtera are agreed except for some remaned tems. For dead shp stablty, consoldated proposal wll be avalable for fnalsng the second level crtera. For excessve acceleraton, t was confrmed that exstng proposals cannot be used as they are now. Ths paper summarses the current status of the second generaton ntact stablty crtera development and presents some ponts to be dscussed n publc and recent works by the author for resolvng the problems for realsng the new crtera.

2 2 PURE LOSS OF STABILITY IN ASTERN WAVES Roll restorng moment of a shp n longtudnal waves could be reduced when a wave crest s stuated n the shp centre and the wave length s comparable to the shp length. In case of astern waves, the shp could start to roll as a result of the restorng reducton wth low wave encounter and natural roll frequences and then the roll nduces addtonal hydrodynamc roll moment due to the unsymmetrcal underwater hull shape. Based on the above mechansm of pure loss of stablty, the IMO agreed the frst and second level crtera n prncple. The current draft s set out as the Annex 2 (SLF 55/WP.3) wth the square brackets whch ndcate undecded tems. balance n snkage and trm s used. Here three stablty ndces n one wave cycle shall be examned: the mnmum GM, the largest loll and the smallest value of maxmum GZ. However, t was agreed to exclude the GM because t s equvalent to non-exstence of loll. As ts alternatve, one delegaton proposed to use the angle of vanshng stablty. The requred value for the maxmum GZ dependng on the Froude number represents addtonal hydrodynamc roll moment due to the unsymmetrcal underwater hull shape. n calm water wth lowest draught n calm water n waves (wave crest at mdshp) Frst and second level crteron In the frst level crteron, the metacentrc heght, GM, n longtudnal waves s requred to be postve n prncple. If GM n longtudnal waves s suffcently postve, most lkely GZ n waves s suffcently large. If GM n waves s negatve wth larger freeboard, GZ could be suffcent. Thus the requrement of GM could be more conservatve. The GM n longtudnal waves can be calculated by a smplfed method except for tumblehome topsde vessels. Here the moment of nerta of waterplane n waves can be approxmated wth that n calm water but wth lowest draught. Ths s because the restorng reducton n longtudnal waves depends on manly bow and stern parts, as shown n Fg. 1, so that we can gnore the effect of mdshp part for ths purpose. As a result, the conventonal hydrostatc curves are suffcent for the applcaton of the frst level crteron. Ths could avod unnecessary ncrease of shp desgners loads because most of ol tankers and bulk carrers are not relevant to ths falure mode at all. In the second level, drect calculaton of GZ n longtudnal waves s requred for a shp but the Froude-Krylov approxmaton wth statc Fg. 1 Smplfed estmaton of restorng reducton on a wave crest. For the reference wave heghts and reference wave lengths, two canddates are avalable for fnal decson at the IMO. One s the 16 representatve wave cases. The other s Grm s effectve wave heght (Grm, 1961) calculated for all possble sgnfcant wave heghts and zero-crossng wave perod appeared n the wave scatterng dagram of the North Atlantc wth the wave length equal to the shp length. Snce the latter s more strngent than the former, the requred probablty (standard) of dangerous sea states should depend on the selecton of reference waves as follows: R [0.06 n the former] [or 0.15n the latter]. PL0

3 3 Drect stablty assessment For the drect stablty assessment, we can use numercal smulaton of nonlnear roll moton coupled wth manoeuvrng motons (SLF 55/INF.15). Thus t s possble to dentfy the case that a shp havng smaller maxmum GZ could survve n realstc ocean waves wth hydrodynamc effect other than the hydrostatc restorng moment. PARAMETRIC ROLLING The roll restorng varaton n longtudnal waves could nduce sgnfcant roll moton as a parametrc roll resonance. The current draft s set out as the Annex 1 (SLF 55/WP.3) wth the square brackets whch ndcate undecded tems. Frst level crteron If we apply an averagng method or equvalent to the uncoupled roll model wth snusodal GM varaton and nonlnear roll restorng and dampng moment, the ampltude of the parametrc roll can be analytcally determned (e.g. Sato, 1970). If the nonlneartes of roll restorng and dampng are excluded, the occurrence condton of parametrc roll can be obtaned as GM GM R PR. (1) Here R PR represents the lnear roll dampng for a steady state or the combnaton of the lnear roll dampng and wave group effect for a transent state. In the frst level crteron, the GM can be calculated by a smplfed method except for tumblehome topsde vessels. Here the moment of nerta of waterplane n waves can be approxmated wth that n calm water but wth lowest or hghest draught. Ths s because the restorng varaton n longtudnal waves depends on bow and stern parts, as shown n Fg. 1, so that we can gnore the effect of mdshp part for ths purpose. As a result, the conventonal hydrostatc curves are suffcent for the applcaton of the frst level crteron. Here the roll dampng s assumed to be always a constant regardless actual hull forms or to be a smple emprcal estmate but dependng on the area of blge keel and blge crcle effect. And the wave steepness s assumed to be Second level crteron The second level crteron conssts of two checks. A shp s requested to comply wth one of them. Its frst check s based on the same methodology used n the frst level crteron but drect calculaton of GM n longtudnal waves and the examnaton wth 16 wave cases are requred. In addton, the effect of forward speed wth related to wave and roll frequences s ncluded. In ts second check, the judgement s gven wth the calculaton of ampltude of parametrc roll n snusodal waves. Here drect calculaton of GM n longtudnal waves and that of roll dampng moment usng the smplfed verson of Ikeda s sem-emprcal method (Kawahara et al., 2009) or the equvalent are used. The GZ curve n calm water s ftted wth a quntc formula and the dampng s ftted wth a cubc formula. In prncple, the ampltude of parametrc roll s calculated by usng an averagng method. Alternatvely, tme doman numercal smulaton could be used f the GZ curve s too complcated. The use of tme doman numercal smulaton for transent effect s also under dscusson. In ths case, the used wave heghts are Grm s effectve wave heght calculated for all possble sgnfcant wave heghts and zero-crossng wave perod appeared n the wave scatterng dagram of the North Atlantc and the wave length s equal to the shp length. Thus, we can obtan the roll ampltude for all possble shortterm sea states n the North Atlantc. Then the probablty to meet dangerous sea states where

4 4 the roll ampltude s greater than the crtcal angle can be calculated and s compared wth the requred value. If the shp fals to comply wth ths check, these data could be used for the operatonal lmtaton. Drect stablty assessment For the drect stablty assessment, we can use numercal smulaton of nonlnear roll moton coupled wth vertcal motons. Ths approach allows us to take account of the effect of vertcal motons on roll restorng varaton. Ths effect could reduce the possblty of parametrc roll. Thus the drect stablty assessment s less conservatve than the second level crtera. BROACHING Broachng s a phenomenon that a shp cannot keep a constant course even wth the maxmum steerng effort. It often occurs when a shp s surf-rdded n followng waves and the centrfugal force due to accelerated shp forward velocty and large yaw angular velocty could result n capszng. Thus the frst and the second crtera were agreed to use crtera for preventng surf-rdng as shown n SLF 54/WP.3. Broachng tself could happen wthout surf-rdng but the forward velocty s generally low so that danger for capszng s not so hgh. Frst level crteron The frst level crteron for broachng s already agreed at the IMO as follows. If the operatonal Froude number s larger than 0.3 and the shp length s smaller than 200 metres, the shp s judged as vulnerable to broachng. The former requrement s exactly the same as that n MSC/Crc. 707 developed n 1995, whch was superseded as MSC.1/Crc It s based on the smallest value of surf-rdng threshold calculated by global bfurcaton analyses of several shps wth the wave steepness of 0.1 and the wave length to shp length rato of 1 or over. The latter shows smaller possblty of occurrence of wave length of 200 metres or over. Second level crteron In the second level, drect estmatons of surfrdng threshold for a gven shp n snusodal waves are requred. Here the Melnkov method (Kan, 1990; Spyrou, 2006) or equvalent as a global bfurcaton analyss can be used. The wave condtons shall cover varous wave heghts and lengths. Then the short-term probablty of surf-rdng can be calculated wth Longuet-Hggns (1983) s theoretcal formula of the jont probablty densty of local wave heght and length. The long-term probablty of surf-rdng s requred to be calculated wth the wave scatterng dagram n the North Atlantc and to be compared wth acceptable value. At the IMO, the undecded tems are only two: one s the value of acceptable probablty and the other s a way for fttng calm-water resstance test data. Drect stablty assessment For the drect stablty assessment, we can use numercal smulaton of nonlnear roll moton coupled wth manoeuvrng motons. Here we can dscuss the danger of broachng drectly. If the probablty of stablty falure due to broachng wth assocated wth surf-rdng s smaller than that of surf-rdng, the drect stablty assessment s less conservatve than the second level crtera. DEAD SHIP STABILITY If a shp loses her propulsve power, the shp could suffer beam wnd and waves as the worst case for harmonc resonance for longer duraton. Or the shp master would select ths stuaton for avodng pure loss of stablty, parametrc rollng or broachng wth possble operatonal gudance. Thus the shp desgner shall guarantee the stablty safety of shps under dead shp condton at least. Its frst level crteron was already agreed at the IMO as the current weather crteron but wth

5 5 the modfed wave steepness table n MSC.1/Crc For the second level crteron, two proposals by two delegatons were submtted: one s Method A and the other s Method B. Method A uses the lnearsaton of the GZ curve n the vcnty of the equlbrum heel angle under the acton of mean wnd. In order to estmate the falure probablty, Method A utlses the concept of equvalent area. Gven the actual crtcal heel angle (n general, f relevant, the mnmum between the angle of progressve floodng, the angle of vanshng stablty under the acton of mean wnd and a reference absolute crtcal angle, e.g. 50deg), Method A defnes an equvalent crtcal heel angle n such a way that the area under the resdual lnearsed GZ curve from the equlbrum heel angle up to the equvalent crtcal heel angle s the same as the area under the actual resdual GZ curve from the equlbrum heel angle up to the actual crtcal heel angle. Method B approxmates the orgnal GZ curve wth pece-wse lnear curves. Here the maxmum rghtng arm, the averaged slope of GZ curve up to the maxmum rghtng arm and the angle of vanshng stablty are kept n the approxmaton so that the area of approxmated GZ curve up to the angle of vanshng stablty s slghtly smaller than that of the orgnal GZ curve. At the SLF 55 n 2013, however, these two delegatons (SLF 55/3/11), as a result of ther comparson study on two methods, submtted a consoldated proposal as follows: - The level 2 vulnerablty crteron should be based on the calculaton of the weghted average total stablty falure probablty, consderng a reference exposure tme of one hour, takng nto account all possble statonary sea states appearng n the reference wave scatter dagram wth ther respectve probabltes of occurrence. Each statonary sea state s represented by the mean wnd velocty, the sgnfcant wave heght, the mean wave perod, and the approprate wnd velocty spectrum and wave spectrum; - Method A should be used because Method A provdes outcomes smlar to the smplfed verson of Method B and the use of Method A s smpler. For some statonary sea states havng large total stablty falure probablty among them, the non-smplfed verson of Method B can be used as an alternatve; - The roll dampng coeffcent s to be calculated, as a bass, usng the Ikeda's smplfed method (Kawahara et al. 2009). However, methods whch are deemed to be at least equvalently relable can be used as well; - The effectve wave slope coeffcent s to be calculated, as a bass, usng an analytcal approxmate conservatve formulaton. However, methods whch are deemed to be at least equvalently relable can be used as well; - The wnd heelng moment ncludng hydrodynamc reacton force s to be calculated, as a bass, smlarly to the current weather crteron. However, methods whch are deemed to be at least equvalently relable can be used as well; - For the determnaton of the parameters mentoned above, use can be made of model experments or calculaton methods whch are deemed to provde a suffcent level of accuracy. When consderng model experments, the gudelnes reported n MSC.1/Crc.1200 can be used as a bass. EXCESSIVE ACCELERATION If a shp has excessve GM, the natural roll perod becomes very small so that excessve acceleraton occurs at the wheel house and the cargo space. Ths excessve acceleraton results n death or serous njury of crew and the cargo damage. For the frst and second level crtera, two proposals were submtted to the correspondence group but the sample calculatons usng actual shps submtted to the correspondence group (SLF 55/3/1) reported that the maxmum GM specfed by these draft crtera can be smaller than the mnmum GM specfed by damage stablty requrement.

6 6 Thus the correspondence group concluded that smple applcaton of the exstng draft crtera seems to be not feasble and SLF 55 agreed wth ths concluson. Thus t s urgent to develop a new proposal on ths falure mode. DESIGN MEASURE FOR PARAMETRIC ROLLING As an actvty of the ntersessonal correspondence group on ths ssue, several delegatons executed sample calculatons of the level 1 and 2 crtera for parametrc rollng and pure loss of stablty usng more than 150 sample shps n total (SLF 55/3/1). Ths number s comparable to those used for the current crtera of the 2008 IS Code Part A,.e. the crtera regardng rghtng lever curve propertes and the weather crteron. The sample shps used here ncludes ol tankers, chemcal tankers, bulk carrers, LNG carrers, contanershps, RoPax shps, car carrers, passenger shps, general cargo shps, reefers, offshore supply vessels, super yachts, fshng vessels and naval shps. The results ndcate that most of ol tankers and bulk carrers comply wth the level 1 crtera so that no problem exsts for desgnng these shp-types. On the other hand, most of contanershps and car carrers used n the submtted sample calculatons fal to pass the level 2 parametrc roll crteron. Snce the applcaton of the drect stablty assessment s not so easy, t s desrable for desgners to resolve the falure problem for contanershp and car carrers wthn the stage of level 2. Therefore we have to explore ways to resolve t by desgn measures usng the C11 class contanershp and a car carrer as examples. These sample shps do not comply wth the level 2 crteron for parametrc rollng. Although several ways for reducng the danger of parametrc rollng are avalable, effects of blge keel area and allowable roll angle are presented n Fgs Here the smallest values of the blge keel area rato among the symbols ndcate the actual desgn. When the blge keel area sze ncreases or the allowable roll angle ncreases, the C2 value of the level 2 crteron for parametrc rollng decreases. If we keep 25 degrees as the allowable roll angle, very small ncrease of blge keel sze s suffcent to realse the complance of the car carrer. Ths would result n only 0.4 per cent of propulsve power ncrease so that t could be a margnally acceptable soluton. For the C11 class contanershp, however, ths soluton could result n 1.6 per cent of propulsve power ncrease so that t mght not be feasble. If we adopt 30 degrees as the allowable roll angle by nstallng two-tered lashng brdges, the power ncrease due to the blge keel sze ncrease could be 0.5 per cent so that t could not be mpractcable.

7 Capszng probablty Surf-rdng prob. Internatonal Shp Stablty Workshop VERIFICATION OF SAFETY LEVELS Snce the second generaton ntact stablty crtera have three-layered structures, t s mportant to keep consstency of judgements among them. For the level 1 and 2 crtera for parametrc rollng and pure loss of stablty, sample calculaton results usng actual 35 shps coverng both full and ballast condtons by a certan delegaton (SLF 55/INF.15) reported that no false negatve case s found f the requrement of GM mn for CR1 of pure loss of stablty s excluded and the effect of blge keel s properly evaluated n the parametrc roll level 1 crteron. For broachng, ts sample calculaton results usng seven shps (SLF 55/3/12) also shows no false negatve case f the requred value s adequately selected. These consstences are guaranteed wth the systematc structure of the crtera and the adequate selecton of requred values. Here the sample calculatons and the feedback from them are ndspensable. 1.E E E-02 1.E-03 1.E-04 1.E-05 1.E-06 Beaufort No. Fn=0.31 Fn=0.32 Fn=0.33 Fg. 4 Probabllty of surf-rdng when the ITTC Shp A-2 meets a encounter wave cycle n pure followng waves. (Umeda et al., 2008) E+00 1.E-01 1.E-02 1.E-03 1.E-04 1.E-05 1.E-06 Beaufort No. Fn=0.30 Fn=0.35 Fn=0.40 Fg. 5 Probabllty of stablty falure due to broachng assocated wth surf-rdng for the ITTC Shp A-2 n stern quarterng waves wth the desred course of 5 degrees from the wave drecton. (Umeda et al., 2008) Consstency between the level 2 crtera and drect stablty assessment depends on the physcs to be realsed n dfferent levels. For example, the broachng level 2 crteron requres the calculaton of surf-rdng probablty and the drect stablty assessment of broachng does that of probablty of stablty falure due to broachng assocated wth surf-rdng. Fgs. 4 and 5 demonstrate that the surf-rdng probablty s much larger than the probablty of stablty falure due to broachng assocated wth surf-rdng (Umeda et al., 2008). Therefore, we can conclude that the broachng level 2 crteron s more conservatve than the drect stablty assessment for broachng. METHODOLOGY FOR EXCESSIVE ACCELERATION There are two dfferent proposals for excessve acceleraton but these specfy wave condtons as wave steepness tables,.e. the table n the current weather crteron or upper boundary of the wave scatterng dagram. Consderng the current stuaton n whch the maxmum allowable GMs by the current proposals could be occasonally smaller than the mnmum allowable GM by the exstng crtera, safety margn of the current proposals for excessve acceleraton seems to be too large. Thus the use of operatonal lmtaton from the level 2 crteron could be a feasble approach. If so, t s worth whle nvestgatng the evaluaton of acceleraton at the wheel house for all possble sgnfcant wave heght and zero-crossng perod n the level 2 crteron for ths mode. CONCLUDING REMARKS The man remarks from ths work are summarzed as follows: (1) The level 1 and 2 crtera for pure loss of stablty, parametrc rollng and broachng are almost agreed at the IMO

8 8 except for some undecded tems. (2) For contanershps and car carrers whch fal to comply wth the level 2 parametrc rollng crteron, a feasble desgn measures could be provded. (3) The level 1 crteron for dead shp stablty was agreed at the IMO and the consoldated proposal for the level 2 dead shp stablty crteron would be presented. (4) For the level 2 crteron for excessve acceleraton, a new proposal based on the wave scatterng dagram s requred for facltatng the use of operatonal lmtaton. (5) The consstency among the dfferent level requrements could be realsed f we use systematc crteron structure n physcs and adopt adequate requred probablty levels.
