Series: Marine Engineering and Technologies %D 2012 %I Astrakhan State Technical University %X The creation of a floating dock design under the requirements to the general strength and stability at the general longitudinal bending is the ultimate problem of designing, especially for floating docks with a great load-carrying capacity. A mathematical model and a realisation algorithm of the designing procedure of the hull¡¯s longitudinal components, showing the efficiency of the application of search procedures are considered in the paper. The theory of planning an experiment is reasonably used in order to solve such a complex problem of choosing an optimal composition of multicomponent systems. %K floating dock %K hull structure %K strength %K stability %K longitudinal bending. %U http://astu.org/content/userimages/vestnik/file/sea_2012_1/02.pdf
