BASIC SHIP THEORY (VOLUME TWO) (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 2 expands on the basic concepts covered in Volume 1. It discusses the dynamic behaviour of marine vehicles, hydrodynamics, manoeuvrability and seakeeping.
It concludes with a discussion of maritime design and of some particular ship types. It highlights the environment and how ship and human interaction with it affects safety and pollution issues. (From the publisher)
