Contenido:

At some point during their careers, marine engineers are likely to encounter the science of naval architecture, particularly during their early years and perhaps several years later when the may need a "refresher" in the subject. Tis 12-chapter book sets out to provide both and at many points in between. It will also be of benefit to those embarking on a carrer as a naval architect, providing much useful information.

It begins with a chapter on ship types, describing the majority of vessels, large and small, that are in service today and will be in the years to come. Several types are illustrated by diagrams with salient features clearly marked. This is followed by a chapter that defines a ship and its parts, and introduces the terminology used. This theme is continued in the next chapter covering rules and regulations as well as tonnage definitions.

Methods used in calculating the areas and volumes of ships' hulls are next explained and worked examples -an important feature throughout the book's chapters- are given making each calculation easy to follow. Such calculaions form a necessary part of following chapters wich have the self-explanatory headings as: buoyancy, stability and trim; ships and the sea; structural strength; and resistance. The latter chapter also features the use of model testing and its relationships to full scale ships.

The book then moves on to the subjects of propellers and propulsion; manoeuvring and motion control; and vibration, each of which is described from from first principles through to the various formulas used in the necessary calculations relating to the appropriate subject heading.

The book closes with a chapter on ship design, which, in the words of the author "... is not a static process, but one which is evolving constantly to meet new frontiers created by technological developments and market demands".

The information contained in this book undoubtedly provides the basis for the reader on which to build his or her knowledge and understanding of merchant ship naval architecture.
