Basic Ship Theory, Volume 2

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. Volume 2 expands on the material in Volume 1, covering the dynamics 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 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 this combined hardback version will be of great assistance to practising marine engineers and naval architects. Brand new edition of the leading undergraduate textbook in Naval Architecture. Provides a basis for more advanced theory.

Serving as a useful tool for undergraduates and national vocational students of naval architecture, maritime studies, ocean and offshore engineering, this work assists practising marine engineers and naval architects. The power required to drive a ship through the water depends upon the resistance offered by the water and air, the efficiency of the propulsion device adopted and the interactions among them. Many thousands of years ago when people became intelligent and adventurous, those tribes who lived near the sea ventured on to it.
