A C++ library for ship stability calculations based on core naval architecture principles.

It provides ready-to-use functions for weight, buoyancy, equilibrium, metacentric height (GM), and more, making it easier to integrate stability checks into your simulation or maritime software.

‍🚧 Work in Progress
ShipStabilityLib is under active development. APIs and documentation may change frequently.

Features

Compute buoyant force using Archimedes' principle
Evaluate equilibrium difference (floating/sinking states)
Extendable modular design for future stability chapters
Tested with basic unit tests

Installation

git clone https://github.com/alviansm/ShipStabilityLib.git
cd ShipStabilityLib
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install

Roadmap

See ROADMAP.md for further details.

ShipStabilityLib is a C++ library for ship stability calculations. This is a personal project to implement what I personally learn, into a functional product and am planning to build a GUI out of it. It might be slow since I'm working on it personally, in my spare times.

The idea is to learn the theory from the books, and implement it into this library, so naturally I would need to write the tests case first, then implement the calculations out of them.
