BASIC SHIP THEORY (VOLUME ONE) (P/B)

Παρουσίαση

Since it was first published in 1968, Basic Ship Theory has become established as the standard introductory text for students of naval architecture and a reference book for the more experienced designer.
This fifth edition continues to consider the fundamental principles of marine vehicles so that computer programs may be used with knowledge and understanding. A balance continues to be struck between theory and practice.
Volume 1 provides the basic concepts of ship geometry and measurement and discusses safety issues, structural strength, flotation, trim and stability. The influence of human factors on the design and the consideration of the environment feature prominently. (From the publisher)
