Product Description
Review
'This book discusses ship geometry and measurement in its more basic concepts, also covering safety issues, structural strength, flotation, trim and staiblity. Topics include: symbols and nomenclature; tools; flotation and trim; stability; hazards; ship girder; more.' Offshore Engineer, October 2004 'This is one of the leading textbooks for naval architect students, and it remains a fine reference book...The subject matter is presented clearly with a great deal of information contained in the two volumes... Basic Ship Theory remains a primary textbook, designed to provide the student with an understanding of the fundamental principles of shiop design. A particular strength is the large number (more than 500) of worked examples, with answers included in the text.' The Naval Architect, Feb. 2002 'will be of great assistance to practising marine engineers and naval architects' Maritime Journal, December 2001 Reviews of previous editions: "This is a very good book and will be a welcome addition to the library of the naval architect." Shipping World and Shipbuilder, December 1968 "This is a professional book - cheerful but no nonsense." Scientific American, September 1969
Product Description
Rawson and Tupper's "Basic Ship Theory", first published in 1968, is widely known as the standard introductory text for naval architecture students, as well as being a useful reference for the more experienced designer. The fifth edition continues to provide a balance between theory and practice. Volume 1 discusses ship geometry and measurement in its more basic concepts, also covering safety issues, structural strength, flotation, trim and stability. Both volumes feature the importance of considering the environment in design. "Basic Ship Theory" is an essential tool for undergraduates and national vocational students of naval architecture, maritime studies, ocean and offshore engineering, and will be of great assistance to practising marine engineers and naval architects. It is a brand new edition of the leading undergraduate textbook in Naval Architecture. It provides a basis for more advanced theory. It includes over 500 examples, with answers.

Format:Paperback
It is indeed a very good reference book for all aspects of naval architecture. All basic principles are in there along with very good bibliography for further study. I believe that this book can contribute to all levels of undergraduate and postgraduate studying: answers are not readily found but only the guidelines are provided in a way that challenges the student to spend even more time on each topic and understand it.

Good Foundational Knowledge
31 Dec 2002
Format:Paperback
I am indebted to these authors for helping me to understand marine structures better. They start rather simply and move onto the complex rather fast without losing you in the process. I especially found the section on scantling effective plating widths helpful. I also was blessed by the way they described how grillage structures work. The section on stability testing is succint but rich in depth. I often use the statistical approaches presented for pedulum readings.

Naval Architecture has never been more interesting
10 Nov 1999
Format:Paperback
Well, maybe it has. Anyway, this book is really poorly written and frequently pisses you off. Plus, the index has only the words that you never need to look up. If you're buying this book you've probably been required to do it by some higher power, but don't buy it otherwise. Just use PNA if you can get away with it.
