Lecture 4:
Murrays Method
Murrays method is based on the idea that forces and moments in a ship are self-balancing (no net force or moment is transferred to the world). Any set of weight and buoyancy forces are in balance.
Also, for any cut at x, the moment at the cut can be determined in two ways; BM ( x) = y1 L1 y 2 L2
= y5 L5 y3 L3 y 4 L4

where ff,fa are the distances from the gf,ga are the distances from the
to the centers of weight (fore and aft) to the centers of buoyancy (fore and aft)
or
=Wf f f f g f
These are two estimates of the maximum bending moment. We can combine the two, and increase our accuracy, by taking the average of the two;

Murray suggested a set of values for x , as a function of the ship length, block coefficient and the ratio of draft to length;
x = L( a C B + b) where
This table for a and b can be represented adequately by the equation; a = .239 T / L b = .1.1T / L .003

BM B =
SWBM = BMW-BMB hog sag = 3,129,220 4,032,428 = 903,145 t-m (- is sag) we need to add the wave bending moment in sag Total BM = 903,145 + 583,800 = 1,486,945 t-m (sag) Note that in this case the ship will never get in the hogging condition, because the SWBM is so large.

Lecture 4 Problems. 1. For the example of Murrays method in the lecture, remove the cargo weight and add 4000 t of ballast, with a cg of 116m fwd of midship. Recalculate the maximum sag and hog moments (both still water and wave). 2. For the example of Murrays method in the lecture, instead of using the weight locations as given, assume that the weights are distributed according to Prohaska. Re-calculate the SWBM.
