Ship Hydrostatics and Stability is a complete guide to understanding
ship hydrostatics in ship design and ship performance, taking you from
first principles through basic and applied theory to contemporary
mathematical techniques for hydrostatic modeling and analysis. Real
life examples of the practical application of hydrostatics are used to
explain the theory and calculations using MATLAB and Excel.
The new edition of this established resource takes in recent
developments in naval architecture, such as parametric roll, the
effects of non-linear motions on stability and the influence of ship
lines, along with new international stability regulations. Extensive
reference to computational techniques is made throughout and
downloadable MATLAB files accompany the book to support your own
hydrostatic and stability calculations.
The book also includes definitions and indexes in French, German,
Italian and Spanish to make the material as accessible as possible for
international readers.
* Equips naval architects with the theory and context to understand
and manage ship stability from the first stages of design through to
construction and use.
* Covers the prerequisite foundational theory, including ship
dimensions and geometry, numerical integration and the calculation of
heeling and righting moments.
* Outlines a clear approach to stability modeling and analysis using
computational methods, and covers the international standards and
regulations that must be kept in mind throughout design work.
* Includes definitions and indexes in French, German, Italian and
Spanish to make the material as accessible as possible for
international readers.
