Basic Ship Theory, Combined Volume

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. The fifth edition continues to provide a balance between theory and practice. Volume 1 discusses ship geometry and measurement in its more basic concepts, also covering safety issues, structural strength, flotation, trim and stability. This fifth edition continues to provide a balance between theory and practice. It discusses ship geometry and measurement in its more basic concepts, also covering safety issues, structural strength, flotation, trim and stability. Also covers the dynamics behavior of marine vehicles, hydrodynamics, maneuverability and sea keeping. It concludes with some case studies of particular ship types and a discussion of maritime design. It is an essential tool for undergraduates and national vocational students of naval architecture, maritime studies, ocean and offshore engineering, and this combined hardback version will be of great assistance to practicing marine engineers and naval architects. It is an essential tool for undergraduates a.
