Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Reeds Vol 4: Naval Architecture for Marine Engineers covers the theoretical, fundamental aspects of vessel design for students preparing for the Class 2 and Class 1 Marine Engineer Officer exams. It introduces the basic foundation themes within naval architecture--hydrostatics, stability, resistance, and powering--using worked examples to show how solutions should be presented for an exam. The topics are presented as a typical teaching module, to aid the use of the book by lecturers as a compliment to a course.

This updated edition contains text and figures in line with modern practice, including many of the figures as 3D diagrams, and a new section on computer software for naval architecture. Naval Architecture for Marine Engineers also includes sample examination questions with worked examples answers to aid students in their learning.

Includes index.

Underlying maths and physics -- Hydrostatics and flotation -- Centre of gravity -- Stability of ships -- Trim -- Fluid loading -- Resistance -- Propellers -- Rudder theory.

Author notes provided by Syndetics

Dr. Richard Pemberton CEng MRINA is Lecturer in Mechanical & Marine Design at Plymouth University. After completing his Ph.D. on System Identification in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in 2003, Richard joined GBR Challenge America's Cup yacht racing team as a design analyst. Since then he was worked as a designer or technical consultant to sailors and yacht racing teams in many of the major competitions within the sport, such as: The America's Cup, Volvo Ocean Race, Vendee Globe, Olympics, and the World Speed Sailing Record. Before joining Plymouth University, Pemberton worked as a consultant Naval Architect both in a self-employed capacity and at the University of Southampton's Wolfson Unit for Marine Technology and Industrial Aerodynamics.

E A Stokoe was formerly Principal Lecturer in Naval Architecture at South Shields Marine and Technical College.
