... 155 APPENDIX J DEVELOPMENT OF DYNAMIC-MOTIONS-BASED STABILITY ANALYSIS The Need and Development of Dynamic-Motions-Based Stability Criteria Ship stability criteria are focused on avoiding capsizing, which can occur in extreme weather accompanied by large nonlinear vessel motions in random seas. The existing static stability criteria are at best an approximation that considers a greatly simplified and idealized model of the actual physics.
