DESCRIPTION:
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. The fifth edition continues to provide a balance between theory and practice. 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. Volume 1 discusses ship geometry and measurement in its more basic concepts, also covering safety issues, structural strength, flotation, trim and stability. Brand new edition of the leading undergraduate textbook in Naval Architecture.P
"Good Foundational Knowledge" according to Brian Trenhaile. I am indebted to these authors for helping me to understand marine structures better. They start rather simply and move onto the complex rather fast without losing you in the process. I especially found the section on scantling effective plating widths helpful. I also was blessed by the way they described how grillage structures work. The section on stability testing is succint but rich in . Naval Architecture has never been more interesting Well, maybe it has. Anyway, this book is really poorly written and frequently pisses you off. Plus, the index has only the words that you never need to look up. If you're buying this book you've probably been required to do it by some higher power, but don't buy it otherwise. Just use PNA if you can get away with it.
His long career in naval architecture has included ship design, hydrodynamic and structural research, and ship production. In 2011 he received the William Froude Medal for outstanding contribution to naval architecture from RINA for his Basic Ship Theory books, co-authored with Ken Rawson. Eric Tupper is a Fellow and Honorary Vic
