First, Intact Stability. This field of study deals with the stability of a surface ship when the intactness of its hull is maintained, and no compartment or watertight tank is damaged or freely flooded by seawater.

What is intact stability and dynamic stability?

However, dynamic stability deals with the study of stability over a range of angle of heels on the curve of intact stability. For any given angle of heel, dynamic stability is the measure of the work done in heeling the ship to that angle, very slowly and while maintaining constant displacement.

What is loss of intact stability?

Partial flooding refers to a condition in which an intact compartment is not completely flooded.An “intact compartment” means that the deck on which the water rests and the bulkheads that surround it remain watertight. … The final result of partial flooding is usually a decided loss in overall stability.
