Abstract

After almost a century the US Navy has reintroduced tumblehome into the design of naval combatants. This paper discusses some of the reasons tumblehome was originally designed into ships and why it served it owners well for many centuries. The transition from sail to steam power a little over a century ago led to a variety of problems with the combatant ships designed with tumblehome where the lack of damage stability caused a major loss of life as these ships sank so quickly. During World War I ships designed with tumblehome fell out of favor and some of the ships were actually modified to remove the tumblehome from the design. These changes in the design of tumblehome ships are discussed in this paper.
从希腊特里勒姆河到朱姆沃尔特
经过近一个世纪的发展,美国海军在海军战舰的设计中重新引入了滚轴式。本文讨论了翻滚房屋最初被设计成船舶的一些原因,以及为什么它在许多世纪以来一直为业主提供良好的服务。一个多世纪以前,从帆动力到蒸汽动力的转变导致了设计为翻滚式动力的战斗舰艇的各种问题,由于这些船只沉没得太快,缺乏破坏稳定性导致了重大的生命损失。在第一次世界大战期间,设计有滚轮的船只不再受欢迎,一些船只实际上进行了修改,从设计中去掉了滚轮。本文对滚船设计中的这些变化进行了讨论。
