Résumé

The leading single volume introduction to naval architecture by one of the subject's best-known authors

The fundamental characteristics of a ship's design, and how they affect its behaviour at sea are of crucial importance to many people involved in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of all marine vessels. Naval architects and those working in ship design need to understand these principles in depth. Marine engineers must likewise recognise the degree to which their activities are influenced and bounded by these principles. Finally, senior crew - both Ship's Engineers and Commanders - need an understanding of the principles of naval architecture in order to properly fulfil their duties. This book offers a clear and concise introduction to the subject and is of great value to both students and practising professionals in all of the above fields.

Fully revised to take account of modern advances, the fourth edition lias many key features:

Covers introductory level courses in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering
Updated to cover key developments including double-hulled tankers
Clear and accessible physical explanations of manoeuvring, directional stability and vibration
Coverage of safety and environmental pollution legislation and their impact upon ship design and operation
Accompanied by exercises and worked solutions for the first time
