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: August 1—Theory—"Short-term 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 E.G.U. Band; "Extreme Value Statistics and Applications," by M.K. Ochi; "Multiple Input Spec- tra Applied to Combined Stresses," by J. Dalzell. August 3 — Design Aspects — "Combining Loads for Design," by R. van Hooff and E.V. Lewis; "Capability of Ship Structure to Resist Loads," by S.R. Heller; "Probabilistic Approach to Eco- nomic Design," by A.M. Freuden- thal. Registration and tuition fees cov- er luncheons and a Thursday eve- ning buffet dinner. For announce- ment and other information, write or phone Prof. E.V.

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.
