Design Principles of Ships and Marine Structures

Zusatztext "The modern state-of-the-art of ships and offshore structures design is well presented. Brief but dense information is given for the history of the shipbuilding and offshore structures and the major characteristics of different ship's and offshore structures types. In my opinion, all major topics in shipbuilding and offshore structures are included."

With availability of high speed computing and sophisticated software, the design scenario has changed in recent years. Advanced numerical techniques are being applied to maritime design activity at the concept design stage itself. With increasing competitiveness, it has become necessary to look at the effectiveness of design in economic terms, as well as its management and evaluation of design alternatives. The book brings all aspects together so that the designer is aware of these systems and can integrate them into a competitive and successful design.

Zusammenfassung

The Definitive Reference for Designers and Design Students

A solid grasp of the fundamentals of materials, along with a thorough understanding of load and design techniques, provides the components needed to complete a marine platform design. Design Principles of Ships and Marine Structures details every facet of ship design and design integration, and highlights the design aspects that must be put together to create an integrated whole product. This book discusses naval architecture and marine engineering applications and principles relevant to the design of various systems, examines advanced numerical techniques that can be applied to maritime design procedure at the concept design stage, and offers a comprehensive approach to the subject of ship design.

Covers the Entire Sphere of Marine Design

The book begins with an introduction to marine design and the marine environment, describing many of the marine products that are used for transportation, defense and the exploitation of marine resources. It also discusses stability issues relevant to ship design, as well as hydrodynamic aspects of resistance, propulsion, sea keeping and maneuvering, and their effects on design. In addition to covering the various systems and sub-systems that go into making a complex product to be used in maritime environment, the author explains engineering economics and its application in ship design, and provides examples wherever necessary.

Written by an author with more than 35 years of teaching experience, this book:
