| Summary |
The leading single volume introduction to naval architecture by one of the subject's best-known authors Provides a perfect introduction to the topic for newcomers to the field and a compact overview for related marine professionals needing a working knowledge of the area Updated to cover key developments including the latest assessments of damaged stability and the increased use of computational methods and modelling in ship design Combines broad scope with authoritative detail, all in the accessible and approachable style associated with experienced naval architecture author Eric Tupper Introduction to Naval Architecture is the most well-known and trusted introduction to the principles affecting the design, construction and operation of marine vessels and structures. It offers a wide ranging yet clear and concise technical guide to the basics of this broad field, with minimal emphasis on complex equations and mathematics. Written by an award-winning naval architecture author, this new edition has been fully updated to cover recent advances and developments in naval architecture. It is ideal for students approaching the subject for the first time, experienced naval architects requiring an up-to-date reference, and other marine professionals needing a working knowledge of the area. Provides a perfect introduction to naval architecture for newcomers to the field and a compact overview for related marine professionals needing a working knowledge of the areaUpdated to cover key developments including double-hulled tankers and the increased use of computational methods and modeling in ship design. Draws on the experience of renowned naval architecture author Eric Tupper to provide extensive scope and authoritative detail, all in an accessible and approachable style. |
