Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complexities of ship design and construction, providing a comprehensive exploration of the science behind their stability, resistance, propulsion, and oscillations. The author skillfully guides the reader through the history of ship design, tracing the evolution of methods from the early days of manual calculations to the advent of sophisticated instruments like the planimeter and integrator. These innovations significantly broadened the understanding of ship stability, allowing for more precise calculations and a deeper grasp of the factors influencing a ship's equilibrium. The book also examines the theory of resistance, drawing upon the groundbreaking research of William and R.E. Froude, who conducted pioneering experiments in towing tanks to determine the resistance ships experience when moving through water. The author meticulously analyzes the factors contributing to wave-making resistance, a key aspect of ship design, and provides insights into the determination of machinery horsepower needed to overcome resistance. The final chapters explore the intricacies of ship propulsion, particularly the advent of screw propellers and the increasing importance of their efficiency in modern ship construction. The author offers a detailed analysis of the relationship between propeller design, area, dimensions, and efficiency, along with discussions of the complex interactions between propeller shape, cavitation, and performance. This book serves as an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand the scientific principles underlying the design and construction of ships, offering a rich historical context and detailed examination of the fundamental concepts that continue to shape the industry today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
