Here is one of the volumes that are considered foundational for the whole discipline of marine hydrodynamics as well as for the naval architecture science. Written by the recognized expert, it addresses maybe the most complicated part of the ship stability and behavior when underway.
The opening chapter of the publication gives the basic background of the probability theory and its application to the marine environment. The author provided a thorough analysis of the behavior of the ship’s hull in ocean waves, covering both regular and irregular ones, and not limiting the investigation area by calm-water assumptions, the way it is usually done.
The main part of the volume is dealing with the abstract concepts of the probability, in the attempt to bridge them with the practical issues of the contemporary ship stability and general naval architecture. The content of the book will be very interesting to the practicing naval engineers and ship designers, who will appreciate in-depth look into the problem.
