Volume 1 discusses ship geometry and measurement in its more basic concepts, also covering safety issues, structural strength, flotation, trim and stability. Volume 2 expands on the material in Volume 1, covering 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. Both volumes feature the importance of considering the environment in design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBasic Ship Theory 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 practising marine engineers and naval architects.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new edition of the leading undergraduate textbook in Naval Architecture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides a basis for more advanced theory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 500 examples, with answers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47124149633264,"sku":"9780080523385","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780080523385_p0.jpg?v=1763638162","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780080523385","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
