Webb Institute of Naval Architecture was founded in 1889 by industrialist and philanthropist William Henry Webb , who had established his career as a preeminent shipbuilder in the 19th century. He recognized the increasing role of science and engineering in the field of ship design , which had long been seen as more of an art form. Webb felt that the ship designers of the future would need to be skilled in structural and mechanical engineering, and other scientific disciplines. The institute graduated its first class in 1893, and continues to educate students in naval architecture and marine engineering. Founding and early history Webb's Academy and Home for Shipbuilders, Bronx, New York City (c. 1899) On April 2, 1889, the state of New York incorporated Webb's Academy and Home for Shipbuilders as a non-profit institution. Webb had provided the Academy with an endowment presumed to be sufficient to allow the institution to be self-supporting in perpetuity. It wa...

Hull girder ultimate strength check 1.1 Introduction 1.1.1 Ch 6, Sec 3, [2] defines the criteria for calculating the ultimate bending moment capacities in hogging condition M UH and sagging condition M US of a hull girder transverse section. As specified in Ch 6, Sec 3, [2] , the ultimate bending moment capacities are defined as the maximum values of the curve of bending moment capacity M versus the curvature χ of the transverse section considered (see Fig 1 ). 1.1.2 This Appendix provides the criteria for obtaining the curve M-χ. 1.2 Criteria for the calculation of the curve M-χ 1.2.1 Procedure The curve M-χ is to be obtained by means of an incremental-iterative approach, summarised in the flow chart in Fig 2 . Figure 1 - Curve bending moment capacity M versus ...
