Book Description
Brand new edition of the leading undergraduate textbook in Naval
Architecture
Provides a basis for more advanced theory
Over 500 examples, with answers
Fully updated to cover new and widely used programs in design such
as CAD.
New case studies on frigates and ro-ro ships
Embraces lessons learnt from disasters of recent years.
Rawson and Tupper's Basic Ship Theory, first
published in 1968, is widely known as the standard introductory
text for naval architecture students, as well as being a useful
reference for the more experienced designer.
The fifth edition continues to provide a balance
between theory and practice. Volume 1 discusses ship geometry and
measurement in its more basic concepts, also covering safety
issues, structural strength, flotation, trim and stability. Both
volumes feature the importance of considering the environment in
design.
Basic Ship Theory is an essential tool for
undergraduates and national vocational students of naval
architecture, maritime studies, ocean and offshore engineering,
and will be of great assistance to practising marine engineers and
naval architects. EDITIONNUMBER: 6
Synopsis
Rawson and Tupper's "Basic Ship Theory", first published
in 1968, is an introductory text for naval architecture students,
and a reference for the more experienced designer. This fifth
edition provides a balance between theory and practice. Volume 1
discusses ship geometry and measurement in its more basic
concepts, also covering safety issues, structural strength,
flotation, trim and stability. Volume 2 expands on the material in
Volume 1, covering the dynamics of behaviour of marine vehicles,
hydrodynamics, manoeuvrability and seakeeping. It concludes with
some case studies of particular ship types and a discussion of
maritime design. Both volumes focus on the importance of
considering the environment in design.
