Offers specifications, complete with images, on various types of high-speed marine craft including component and propulsion systems. This title contains coverage of the design, build and operation of these vessels. It includes key contents such as: principal equipment; marine regulatory authorities; and, consultants and designers.
A recognition guide for those either at sea or in occupations where there is a need to identify merchant shipping. It contains line drawings and photographs, together with the use of a revised version of the Talbot Booth recognition system based on ship type, sequence and hull form. It also contains a merchant shipping report.
Covers topics such as ship squat, angle of heel whilst turning, and moments of inertia via Simpson's Rules. This work also includes a diagram showing Deadweight-Moment. It is a tool to aid in the passing of maritime examinations, and also includes 66 worked examples, with a further 50 giving final answers.
A revised and updated edition of this student reader. The contents cover: shipyard practices; principles of construction methods; design and construction of ship components; and the overall arrangements of different types of merchant and passenger vessels.
With a focus on engineering at the interface of aeronautical and marine technology, this volume examines the full range of high-performance marine vessel concepts, from fast ferries to the latest high-speed naval craft, and including competition power boats.
Provides an overview of hydrodynamic experimental and numerical methods for ship resistance and propulsion, maneuvering, seakeeping and vibration. Beginning with an overview of problems and approaches, this title introduces the marine applications of computational fluid dynamics and boundary element methods.
A sharpie is a long, narrow, flat-bottom craft that evolved in the 19th century along the Connecticut shore as an oyster fisherman's boat. This book traces the development of the sharpie from its earliest days to the plywood-and-epoxy designs. It gives instructions that can be used to build sharpies of various types and sizes.
Serves as an introductory text for naval architecture students, as well as a useful reference for the more experienced designer. This volume discusses ship geometry and measurement in its more basic concepts, also covering safety issues, structural strength, flotation, trim and stability.
Serves as an introductory text for naval architecture students, as well as a useful reference for the more experienced designer. This volume covers 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.
Suitable for engineers involved in marine engineering and naval architecture, this reference covers from the basics to more advanced topics in ship design, construction and operation. It also covers various key areas, including ship flotation and stability, ship structures, propulsion, seakeeping and maneuvering.
Covers the majority of the descriptive work in the Syllabus for Naval Architecture in Part B of the Department of Transport exams for Class 1 and Class 2 Engineers, together with the ship construction content of the General Engineering Knowledge papers.
A handbook for those designing, building, rigging or sailing gaff rigged craft. It provides an insight into the design, history, techniques and developments of gaff rigs, and outlines the practical aspects of the masts, spars, sails, running and standing rigging.
