"The monograph presents the main results of the author's sixty-year activity in science and engineering fields regarding the application of various multi-hull ships. The shown data are based mainly on the wide experimental results of the author. For fullness of description, some problems are explained in brief by the experimental results of other authors whose names are shown in the text and references. The scope of topics includes a brief history of applications, a list of types, hydrostatics and stability, towing resistance and propulsion in calm water and high seas, seaworthiness, maneuverability, external loads, structural arrangements and strength, general arrangement, and proposed concept designs. The scope of architectural types encompasses the variety of multi-hull 'species' from catamarans to trimarans as well as the other triple-hull ships, and ships with a small water-plane area (SWA ships). The type and size of ship range from small fast crafts to large ferries, from passenger ships to transatlantic container-carriers, and from high-speed patrol boats to naval combat and auxiliary ships. This is a development of a kind of technical encyclopedia previously published as three books: Multi-hull Ships by V. Dubrovsky and A. Lyakhovitsky (2001), Ships with Outriggers, by V. Dubrovsky (2004), Ships with Small Water-Plane Area, by V. Dubrovsky, K. Matveev, S. Sutulo, with detailed explanations of the newest data. In this respect, the book is unique and the most universal one written in English today. A brief history of applications is given as the base for future developments. The introduction contains a list of ship types and full terminology. Chapter One describes the specificity of general arrangement. Chapter Two speaks of how stability and non-sinkability differ clearly from the same qualities of mono-hulls. Chapter Three delves into resistance in calm water (major specificity and its use, series test results of catamarans with low-lengthening hulls, and twin- and triple-hull SWA models). Chapter Four is about seakeeping and performance on high seas (specifics of motion and the universal method of comparative evaluation). Chapter Five teaches readers about controllability and maneuverability specificity. Chapter Six shows structural strength (external loads, hull girder stress analysis and design, and simplified methods). Chapter Seven deals with d esign (basic factors, specific design algorithms and limitations, some new concepts: super-fast wave-piercing trimaran; 'semi-gliding' ships with small water-plane area, S/P SWA ships, feeder and fast container-carriers, motor yachts, carriers of helicopters and unmanned aircraft; transatlantic container-carriers, cruise ships, passenger ships for unequipped coasts, ships for seismic researching, multi-purpose pleasure and inexpensive research vessels, some small-sized vessels, and combat ships from corvettes to aircraft-carriers). The book is addressed to all kinds of readers involved in the production and operation of ships, including owners, designers, naval architects, marine engineers, professors and students, as well as planning and ship-operating managers"--From publisher's website.

"Bridging the Seas portrays the rise of naval architecture as an integral part of the Industrial Age, describing how shipbuilders, ship owners and navies sponsored and incorporated ship theory into design and engineering in order to gain a competitive edge over their adversaries. It picks up the history of naval architecture where his previous book, Ships and Science, left off: at the turn of the 19th century, when the structures of Europe's Scientific Revolution came crashing down as the result of the Napoleonic Wars, while a new British-dominated Industrial Revolution was restructuring commerce and empires around the world. Bridging the Seas frames these developments around the fundamental change in shipbuilding from sail and wood to steam, iron and steel. Bridging the Seas shows that the introduction of steam, iron and steel required new rules for designing and building ships, which meant that characteristics of performance had to be first measured (e.g., horsepower), followed by new theories developed to predict them. The book then explores how ship theory led to quantifiable standards that would ensure adequate safety and quality as demanded by industry and governments, and how this in turn led to the professionalization of naval architecture as an engineering discipline. The book considers the changeover from laissez-faire research in naval architecture in the 19th century, to more structured approaches in government-sponsored testing tanks and laboratories in the 20th-century. Finally, it shows how computer-aided design has altered the social order of engineering design and project management, and how those changes will likely affect the discipline of naval architecture at the dawn of 21st-century Information Age."

The ever-growing demand for commercial activities at sea has meant that ships are rapidly developing and that the rules governing their construction and operation are changing. Practical Ship Design records these changes, their outcomes and the reasoning behind them. It deals with every aspect of ship design and handles a wide range of both merchant ships and naval ships with authority. It provides coverage of cargo ships and passenger ships, tugs, dredgers and other service craft. It also includes concept design, detail design, structural design, hydrodynamics design, the effect of regulations, the preparation of specifications and matters of costs and economics. Drawing on the author's extensive practical experience, Practical Ship Design is likely to interest everybody involved in the design, construction, repair and operation of ships. Students and the most experienced professionals will all benefit from the book's vast store of design data and its conclusions and recommendations.

Written by an award-winning naval architecture author and former vice-president of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA), the fifth edition of Introduction to Naval Architecture has been fully updated to take in advances in the field and is ideal both for those approaching the subject for the first time and those looking to update or refresh their knowledge on areas outside of their direct expertise. This book provides a broad appreciation of the science and art of naval architecture, explaining the subject in physical rather than in mathematical terms.
