Maritime Engineering Reference Book - A Guide to Ship Design, Construction and Operation
The Maritime Engineering Reference Book is a one-stop source for engineers involved in marine engineering and naval architecture. In this essential reference, Anthony F. Molland has brought together the work of a number of the world's leading writers in the field to create an inclusive volume for a wide audience of marine engineers, naval architects and those involved in marine operations, insurance and other related fields. Newly enhanced with 126 fully interactive graphs its coverage ranges from basics to advanced topics in ship design, construction, and operation. All the key areas are covered, including: ship flotation and stability, ship structures, seakeeping and maneuvering, and propulsion. The marine environment and maritime safety are explored as well as new technologies, such as computer aided ship design and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). Facts, figures and data from world-leading experts makes this an invaluable ready-reference for those involved in the field of maritime engineering. Professor A.F. Molland, BSc, MSc, PhD, CEng, FRINA, is Emeritus Professor of Ship Design at the University of Southampton, UK. He has lectured ship design and operation for many years and has carried out extensive research and published widely on ship design and various aspects of ship hydrodynamics.

Introduction to Naval Architecture (5th Edition)
This book is the most well-known and trusted introduction to the principles affecting the design, construction and operation of marine vessels and structures. It offers a wide ranging yet clear and concise technical guide to the basics of this broad field, with minimal emphasis on complex equations and mathematics. Written by an award-winning naval architecture author, this new edition has been fully updated to cover recent advances and developments in naval architecture. It is ideal for students approaching the subject for the first time, experienced naval architects requiring an up-to-date reference, and other marine professionals needing a working knowledge of the area.
eBook
Creating Shapes in Civil and Naval Architecture
The design, construction and fabrication of complex two- and three-dimensional shapes in civil and naval architecture have always been a particularly demanding part of the art of engineering. This volume presents a comparative knowledge history in these two distinct branches of construction engineering.
eBook
Buckling and Ultimate Strength of Ship and Ship-Like Floating Structures
This book provides an integrated state-of-the-art evaluation of ship structure mechanics including buckling, plastic failure, ultimate strength, and ultimate bending moments. For the design of any industrial product, it is necessary to understand the fundamentals in the failure behavior of structures under extreme loads. Significant developments have been made in understanding the analysis method of plastic collapse and behavior and strength of structures accompanied by buckling. Written by two of the foremost experts in international ship design and ocean engineering, this book introduces fundamental theories and methods as well as new content on the behavior of buckling/plastic collapse that help explain analysis like the initial imperfections produced by welding and the ultimate strength of plates, double bottom structures of bulk carriers, and ship and FPSO hull girders in longitudinal bending.
eBook
Marine Propellers and Propulsion (3rd Edition)
Propulsion technology is a complex, multidisciplinary topic with design, construction, operational and research implications. Bringing together a wealth of disparate information from the field, this book provides comprehensive and cutting edge coverage to equip marine engineers, naval architects and anyone involved in propulsion and hydrodynamics with the knowledge needed to do the job. Drawing on experience from a long and varied career in consultancy, research, design and technical investigation, author John Carlton breaks the subject into three main sections-hydrodynamic theory, materials and mechanical considerations, and design, operation and performance. Connecting essential theory to practical problems in design, analysis and operational efficiency, this is an invaluable resource, packed with hard-won insights, detailed specifications and data.

Ships' fastenings: from sewn boat to steamship
Without effective and durable hull fastenings, boats and ships-from the earliest days of seafaring through the twentieth century-could not have plied the seas. InShips' Fastenings, this central element of boat construction receives its first detailed study. Author Michael McCarthy offers a fascinating, thorough description of a range from sewn-plank boats of the ancient world and Micronesia to Viking ships, Mediterranean caravels, nineteenth-century ocean clippers, and even steamships. Along with the comprehensive account of ship fastenings, McCarthy provides a history of many of the discoveries and innovations that accompanied changes in the kinds of fastenings used and the ways they were secured. He discusses copper sheathing, metallurgy, the advent of Muntz metal, rivets of all types, welding in the ancient and modern sense, and the types of non-magnetic fastenings needed on World War II minesweepers. He even takes a glance at the development of underwriting and insurance, because the registries kept by Lloyd's and others were not only guides to the suitability or a particular ship but also dictated the form and method of fastening. Ships' Fasteningswill prove of value to shipbuilders, historians, and archaeologists. It is also written for the enthusiast and amateur boat builder.
