Description

Rawson and Tupper's Basic Ship Theory stands as the definitive introductory reference for naval architecture students and experienced ship designers alike since its 1968 publication. The fifth edition maintains the proven balance between theoretical foundations and practical application across two comprehensive volumes. Volume 1 covers essential ship geometry, measurement principles, safety considerations, structural strength, flotation mechanics, trim and stability calculations. Volume 2 builds on these fundamentals to explore the dynamics of marine vehicles, hydrodynamics, manoeuvrability characteristics and seakeeping performance. This authoritative text by Butterworth-Heinemann remains the industry standard for understanding ship design principles, making it indispensable for anyone working in naval architecture or maritime engineering.

Key Features

Basic Ship Theory Fifth Edition provides foundational coverage of ship geometry, measurement, and safety issues essential for naval architecture education.

Volume 1 examines structural strength, flotation principles, trim and stability to establish core design knowledge for ship vessels.

Volume 2 explores marine vehicle dynamics, hydrodynamics, manoeuvrability and seakeeping to advance understanding of ship behaviour.

Butterworth-Heinemann's standard reference combines theory with practical application, serving both students and experienced ship designers.

First published in 1968, Basic Ship Theory has remained the widely recognised introductory text for naval architecture professionals and academics.
