Subdivision - p-Factor (Damage Probability)
Probability p of damage in a given longitudinal zone per SOLAS II-1 Reg. 7-1 - based on zone length and position along L_S.
Damage probability p
0.0667 -
Formula, assumptions, and limits
Simplified middle-zone approximation. Full Reg. 7-1 uses piecewise J_max and coefficient c depending on whether damage reaches L_S. A = Σ p·s is attained subdivision index.
