Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This indispensible guide to ship stability covers essential topics such as flotation and buoyancy, small angle, large angle and longitudinal stability, water density effects, bilging, ship resistance, and advanced hydrostatics. Each chapter has a comprehensive list of aims and objectives at the start of the topic, followed by a check-list at the end of the topic for students to ensure that they have developed all the relevant skills before moving onto the next topic area.The book features over 170 worked examples with fully explained solutions, enabling students to work through the examples to build up their knowledge and develop the necessary key skills. The worked examples, which range in difficulty from very simple one-step solutions to SQA standard exam questions and above, are predominantly based on a hypothetical ship. The reader is supplied with extracts from a typical data book for the ship which replicates those found on actual ships, enabling the reader to develop and practise real-life skills.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Flotation and buoyancy -- Small angle or initial metacentric stability - will my ship float upright? -- Large angle stability - just how far can she roll? -- Longitudinal stability - fore and aft balance -- Additional calculations and processes -- Bilging and damaged stability -- Calculating hull shear force using Simpson's rule -- Ship resistance -- Ship propulsion -- Screw propellers -- Propeller alternatives for high speed craft -- Rudders.
