It does not appear that any serious attempt has yet been made to investigate the amounts, or even the nature, of the principal straining actions which the rolling of a ship brings into play, or of the effect of those straining actions upon the material of which the hull is composed. Various writers, from Bouguer in 1746, down to Professor Macquorne Rankine in 1866, and Sir E. J. Reed in 1871, have discussed the straining actions that are caused by longitudinal racking and bending when a vessel is floating in statical equilibrium. Sir E. J. Reed elaborately investigated the subject in a paper contained in the “Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society” for 1871, and gave examples of the amounts and distribution of the stresses caused by such straining actions in several typical ships of Her Majesty’s Navy.
