The present work is an expansion of the Author's "Text-Book of Theoretical Naval Architecture" originally published in 1899. It has been prepared in order to provide students and draughtsmen engaged in Shipbuilders' and Naval Architects' drawing offices with a text-book which should explain the calculations which have continually to be carried out. It is intended also that the work should form a text-book for the various examinations which are held in this subject. The subject of Naval Architecture is continually growing, and it is impossible to deal satisfactorily with it in any one book, but the object of the Author has been to show how all the ordinary ship calculations can be intelligently carried out and to give the student a groundwork of knowledge on which further progress can be based.
A Treatise on Naval Architecture and Ship-Building; Or, an Exposition of the Elementary Principles Involved in the Science and Practice of Naval Construction.
The purpose of this thesis has been to develop a rational procedure for analysis of ship collisions, addressing all types of ships and damage scenarios.
The book meets expectations of both academia and practice. This excellent textbook, which may also serve as reference throughout the professional career, deserves unrestricted recommendation and should soon be found on the bookshelf of any naval architect or mariner.
Understanding ship stability is critical for all maritime students or professionals who are studying for a deck or engineering certificate of competency, or seeking promotion to a higher rank within any branch of the merchant marine or Navy. The sixth edition of the now classic 'Ship Stability' provides a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of ship stability and ship strength, squat, interaction and trim, materials stresses and forces.
This is one of the leading textbooks for naval architect students, and it remains a fine reference book. The subject matter is presented clearly with a great deal of information contained in the two volumes. Basic Ship Theory remains a primary textbook, designed to provide the student with an understanding of the fundamental principles of shiop design. A particular strength is the large number (more than 500) of worked examples, with answers included in the text.
The author has provided the reader with comprehensive coverage of ship hydrodynamics with a focus on numerical methods now in use. The book provides a global overview of experimental and numerical methods for ship resistance and propulsion, manoeuvring and seakeeping. As boundary element techniques are now in standard use, these are covered in sufficient detail for independent code development.
