What is Displacement to Length Ratio?

The Displacement to Length Ratio (DLR) is a measure of how much displacement there is per unit of length. It is often expressed as a percentage to indicate the ratio. This metric is used in various fields, including engineering and naval architecture, to assess the efficiency or performance of a design.

Example Problem

Let's assume the following:

Step 1: Calculate the Displacement to Length Ratio (DLR):

\[ \text{DLR} = \frac{5000}{250} \times 100 = 2000\% \]

Therefore, the Displacement to Length Ratio is 2000%.
