Издание на английском языке
This publication covers the fundamentals of ship theory, stability, strength, safety, and design. It covers buoyancy, displacement, hull geometry, areas, volumes, moments, centers of gravity, and quantities, as well as determining drafts and using hydrostatic curves. Transverse and longitudinal stability, metacentric height, static stability diagrams, the influence of free surfaces, grounding, and dry-docking are covered in detail. Special attention is given to hull strength, stress, fatigue, fracture, safety regulations, emergency stability, computer aids, performance, seaworthiness, maneuverability, and the design features of various vessel types.
