Determination of Inertia Forces Acting on Break Bulk Cargo en Route

Abstract

The paper presents the analytical method of defining inertia forces that act on break bulk cargo as a result of the oscillatory motion of the vessel exposed to the effect of ambient forces. Considering that the linear models of roll, pitch and heave applicable in this case, the problem is solved by expressing the angle of heel, the angle of pitch, and the amplitude of heave. The obtained functions are differentiated and the inertia forces are determined by means of applying the Newton's second law.
