DESIGN PRINCIPLES OF SHIPS AND MARINE STRUCTURES

The present publication was originally intended to serve as a reference tool for all students of ship design and professional designers. The book details every important aspect of the design of ships and design integration, highlighting the matters that shall be put together in order for the whole product to be generated.

The volume discussed the applications and technical principles of marine engineering and naval architecture considered relevant to the design of the ship hull systems, examining the advanced numerical methods to be applied to the marine design at the stage of concept design, and offering a truly comprehensive approach to the design of the ships. The content of the book is covering the entire sphere of ship design. The volume opens with the intro to the ship design and marine environment - in this chapter the author describes the marine products commonly used for the transportation and exploitation of the various marine sources as well as for defending them.

The author has also provided a clear explanation of the engineering economics together with its real-life applications, supplementing the theoretical information with practical examples. He has used his thirty-five years of experience to make the book better and more useful. The ship design aspects directly related to the safety/risk assessment have also been addressed along with the discussion of the ship design principles for their sustainability...
