When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Transportation Loads
Loadings applied to objects on ships are heave, pitch and yaw. In effect the motion of the ship applies accelerations to an object on the ship. The acceleration is a function of the objects location from the fulcrum about which the ship rotates.
RE: Transportation Loads
Thank you. When equipment is being designed without yet knowing the specifics of the ship transporting the equipment, are there any conservative assumptions that can be used?
