Review
'This fourth edition of an Introduction to Naval Architecture by E.C. Tupper follows on from the previous well-established edition of a text book of naval architecture that many find an invaluable reference in either studying or practising many aspects of marine technology, whether as naval architects, marine engineers, or as sea-going ship engineers and commanders... it builds on the strengths of the previous edition as a very valuable introduction to naval architecture that is clearly written and with well-presented figures... A further welcome addition is the inclusion of a number of exercises and worked examples to allow practice of calculations... In summary, this fourth edition builds on the strengths of the previous edition, with significant beneficial revisions to provide an excellent and comprehensive text on naval architecture that will be an invaluable source of reference for all students and practising professionals in marine technology.' Dr Peter N H Wright, University of Newcastle in The Naval Architect, March 2005
Product Description
The fundamental characteristics of a ship's design, and how they affect its behaviour at sea are of crucial importance to many people involved in the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of all marine vessels. Naval architects and those working in ship design need to understand these principles in depth. Marine engineers must likewise recognise the degree to which their activities are influenced and bounded by these principles. Finally, senior crew - both Ship's Engineers and Commanders - need an understanding of the principles of naval architecture in order to properly fulfil their duties. This book offers a clear and concise introduction to the subject and is of great value to both students and practising professionals in all of the above fields.

Good, Very Good,
By A Customer
This review is from: Introduction to Naval Architecture (Paperback)
Make no mistake, to read this book you need an engineering training and it is intended as a text book. This is a book very close to my heart, and answered childhood questions of how one mathematically describes a wave, why are ships shaped as they are and for all things how one designs them from shape to propulsion. Again this is no "How it Works" book. The calculation of welded structure strenghts is also very interesting. On the critical side, the calculations of GM and GZ are described, but the practical implications of the resulting numbers are not described and also their interaction not mentioned. Butterworth managed to find an author who to their usual standards of conciseness produced a very good book.

Excellent Resource,
By Alexander Laun - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Introduction to Naval Architecture: Formerly Muckle's Naval Architecture for Marine Engineers (Paperback)
This work provides a qualitative approach to naval architecture, and is best coupled with "Introduction to Naval Architecture" (Gillmer and Johnson, Naval Institute Press). All information is well-presented, detailed, and organized. Although a mathematical interpretation of naval architecture is lacking within this resource, such information is adequately replaced by vivid description and the unique viewpoint of E.C. Tupper. This work is highly recommended for those individuals seeking a basic, non-mathematic approach to ship design; otherwise, the purchase of the Gillmer and Johnson reference is also necessary.
Please note: This is my opinion as a high school Senior completing an independent research project within the field of naval architecture. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful:

Good introduction into Naval Architecture,
By Clint Aust Centre "Aussie Business" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Introduction to Naval Architecture: Formerly Muckle's Naval Architecture for Marine Engineers (Paperback)
Naval Architecture is a big topic and it is easy to get lost in a sea of books that promise much but end up being filled with anecdotes and tales of the sea. Tupper's work is well structured, informative and immediately useful as an overview.
The book provides enough back ground information to understand the principles before the onset of formulas and mathematics. Perhaps the only small weakness is the treatment of fluid dynamics didn't develop as well as other concepts. Overall the book is very useful and sits beside my desk so that I can refer to it frequently - and after all isn't that the best recomendation for an introductory work. Thanks Eric. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

Great resource!,
By cycle girl - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Introduction to Naval Architecture: Formerly Muckle's Naval Architecture for Marine Engineers (Paperback)
This is definitely my go-to book for understanding the general principles of naval architecture. The book is well-written and easy to understand. While very technical, it also very accessable. I think it should be a requirement for anyone in the field.
