initial stability

This afforded high initial stability, which contributed to the protection scheme.

This provides initial stability for the satellite after release from the rocket upper stage.

Very narrow boats such as canoes and kayaks have little initial stability.

A larger metacentric height implies greater initial stability against overturning.

The aforementioned design elements contribute to enhancing initial stability.

Rimed snow has been found to provide greater initial stability for a snow layer.

Because of their narrow flat bottoms, they do not exhibit much initial stability and are 'tippy'.

The cause of the disaster was reported to be little initial stability combined with too much loose gear and too many people aboard.

Initial stability is the resistance of a boat to a small amount of lateral tilting from its equilibrium position.

For a given beam, a rounded-bottom canoe will have less initial stability than its flatter bottomed cousin.

Furthermore, large cruise ships also tend to be very wide, which considerably increases their initial stability by increasing the metacentric height.

The wider the boat, the greater the difference in water volume displaced during lateral tilting and the greater the initial stability.

Wide boats such as the jonsboat have a great deal of initial stability and allow the occupants to stand upright to engage in fishing activities.

Their advantages include high waterplane area at rest (good initial stability) a dry ride in light chop, and reasonable fuel economy at planing speeds.

Lower initial stability will normally increase with time due to the lower mechanical stability being enforced by the bone remodeling process (osseointegration).

A flat-bottomed hull will have high initial stability, while a rounded or V-shaped hull will have high final stability.

They cut the water well, but their initial stability is low, making them feel tippy in flat water; a loaded dory becomes more stable as it is loaded.

Migratory aptitude made reference to the possibility that the preferred product of the reaction was the result of an initial stability of one carbon migrating in preference to another.

Stability and bottom shape: the hull can be optimized for initial stability (the boat feels steady when it sits flat on the water) or final stability (resistance to capsizing).

Although American officials welcomed the initial stability in Kabul, they were appalled by the abuses of human rights by the Taliban, and the State Department's tone has grown increasingly condemnatory.

High initial stability (ISQ values of 70 and above) tends to not increase with time, even if the high mechanical stability will decrease to be replaced by a developed biological stability.

This initial stability of school operation led to administration's conscious efforts for the curricular and co/extra-curricular programs to be affected by the school's thrust of Education for Justice and Social Transformation.

If a narrative can be said to progress from one equilibrium to another, with the initial stability disrupted by a particular event or force, then 'race' is frequently the power which produces disequilibrium in racial problem films of this period.

They are much lighter than traditional dories and compensate for the lack of initial stability by having slightly wider bottoms and very low(8 inch high) seats and are fitted with skegs for directional stability.

For inshore work the transom was widened, freeboard was lowered and more rocker introduced into the bottom making an exceptionally easy-to-row boat that was more stable (initial stability not ultimate stability) than their offshore cousins.
