Webb To Hold

Seminar August 1-3

On Hull Structure

A three-day seminar is planned for August 1-3, 1973, at Webb In- stitute of Naval Architecture, on

Probability Applied to Hull Struc- tural Design. Recent developments in the application of probability theory to the determination of short and long-term distributions of wave loads will be surveyed, along with implications for hull design.

Guest lecturers will include Prof.

A.M. Freudenthal of George Wash- ington University, Dr. S.R. Heller of Catholic University, E.G.U. Band of Payne, Inc., Dr. M.K. Ochi of

Naval Ship Research Development

Center, and John Dalzell of David- son Laboratory. The tentative pro- gram follows:

Probabilities based on the Rayleigh

Distribution," by O.J. Karst and

D. Hoffman; "New Random Strati- fied Sampling of North Atlantic

Wave Spectra," by D. Hoffman; "Alternate Methods of Obtaining

Long-term Load Distributions"; "A Computer Procedure for Ob- taining a Long-term Load Distri- bution," by R.B. Zubaly.

August 2 — Applications —- "Ob- taining a Long-term Distribution from Extreme Values in 20-min.

Records," by R.vanHooff; "Trans- forming a Long-term Distribution from a Wind to a Wave Basis," by

Look for the Big-Big

From Sakaide Works

Kawasaki Heavy Industries' Sakaide

Works is able to build or repair any type and any size vessel. The ship- yard's two building docks (No.1 and

No.3) stand in a row. Ships up to 350,000 DWT can be accommo- dated at the No.1 dock.

The No.3 dock facility will accom- modate ships up to 600,000 DWT.

The No.2 dock is used exclusively as a repair facility for ships up to 500,000 DWT.

In all, KHI's Sakaide Works deserves the world's spotlight as truly the most complete, most diversified shipyard.
