About this title

Synopsis:

Incorporates new material following research into the sea disasters of the past ten years, extends the concepts of fatigue , whole ship dynamics and understanding of structural failure and includes coverage of new ship regulations. It also applies principles to novel ship types, uses Si, US and Imperial units in parallel throughout, includes over 50 examples with answers to encourage practice and consolidate learning, provides up-to-date reference material and presents numerous diagrams to support and clarify the text. Volume One discusses the blend of art and science in current naval architecture. It considers the marine vehicle from fundamental principles and examines the basic concepts of ship design, from geometry and measurement through to the interaction of human factors and the ship environment. Core: Degree courses in Naval architecture, ocean, offshore, maritime and marine engineering.

Review:

"This book discusses ship geometry and measurement in its more basic concepts, also covering safety issues, structural strength, flotation, trim and staiblity. Topics include: symbols and nomenclature; tools; flotation and trim; stability; hazards; ship girder; more." --Offshore Engineer, October 2004

"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 Naval Architect, Feb. 2002

"Will be of great assistance to practising marine engineers and naval architects." --Maritime Journal, December 2001

Reviews of previous editions: "This is a very good book and will be a welcome addition to the library of the naval architect." --Shipping World and Shipbuilder, December 1968

"This is a professional book - cheerful but no nonsense." --Scientific American, September 1969
