Intended for use in first courses, the revised edition will continue to provide ocean engineering students with an overview of the field. It may also be used to supplement courses in coastal engineering, offshore structures, underwater systems and mooring, underwater acoustics, and floating bodies. Elements of Ocean Engineering extensively addresses the topics of offshore structures, coastal processes and structures, floating and submerged body hydrodynamics, subsea systems and mooring, and acoustics. Materials and corrosion, instrumentation, physical modeling, and the regulatory, safety, and environmental stewardship are described and an overview of ocean engineering design are discussed. The nomenclature unique to ocean engineering and useful material properties and conversion factors are available in the appendices.

Ocean engineering is an extremely exciting and challenging field addressing the development of the ocean frontier. The oceans will undoubtedly continue to be a major factor in the development of renewable energy (wind, current, and wave). The challenges in the field of ocean engineering are extensive, and the progress will continue to benefit mankind. 
 

 

 


 Principles of Naval Architecture: Ship Resistance & Flow 
by Lars Larsson & Hoyte C. Raven
Edited by J. Randolph Paulling
ISBN: 978-0-939773-76-3
List Price: $65.00
Member Price: $55.00
Student Member Price: $45.00 

The Principles of Naval Architecture series is the defining reference work and text for naval architecture. This volume contains a completely new presentation of the subject of ship resistance embodying these developments. A major goal in the design of virtually all vessels is to obtain a hull form having low resistance. In achieving this goal, the accurate prediction of resistance for a given hull geometry is essential. Since the publication of the previous edition of PNA important advances have been made in theoretical and computational fluid dynamics accompanied by increased use of such work in ship and offshore structure design.

The first section of the book provides basic understanding of the flow phenomena that underlie the resistance encountered by a ship moving in water. The second section contains an introduction to the methods by which that knowledge is applied to the prediction of resistance, including model testing, empirical methods and computational methods. A final section provides guidance to the naval architect in designing a hull form. Design procedures are described for achieving favorable flow and resistance characteristics of the hull and appendages. Examples are given for ships designed for high, medium and low speeds. Design considerations affecting both wave and viscous effects are included. Finally the flow in the stern wake is discussed, an area important for both resistance and propeller performance. 
 

 

 


 Ship Structural Analysis and Design
by Owen Hughes and Jeom Kee Paik 2010
ISBN 978-0-939773-82-4, Hard Cover, 2 lb.
List: $150.00
Members Domestic: $110.00
Students: $85.00 

Originally written by Dr. Hughes as Ship Structural Design in 1983, the new book is the result of many years of effort by Professors Hughes and Paik, with significant contributions by four other leading experts from England, France and Germany. As in the original book, the underlying theory has been verified through extensive testing and implemented in MAESTRO, a leading ship structural design program.

For a structure as large and as complex as a ship there are three levels of structural design, the second and most central of which is the subject of this book. Rationally-based design is design from first principles using the tools of modern engineering science: computers and the methods of structural analysis and optimization which computers have made possible. Thus, the rationally-based approach is ideally suited for preliminary structural design, and it is this approach and this level of design that is the subject of this book.

 Principles of Naval Architecture Series: Vibration
by William S. Vorus Edited by J. Randolph Paulling (PNA-VIB) 2010 ISBN 978-0-939773-75-6, Softbound, 1lb.
List: $50.00
Members Domestic: $40.00
Students: $35.00 

Principles of Naval Architecture series is the defining reference work and text for naval architecture. This volume presents the principles underlying analysis of the vibration characteristics of modern seagoing ships and the application of those principles in design and problem solving.

The classical continuous beam model with steady state response to periodic excitation is presented first. This includes natural frequencies, mode shapes and modal expansion. Discrete analysis is next presented based upon finite element principles. Examples are discussed involving analysis of the entire ship and component parts, e.g., the deckhouse. There are sections on vibration surveys, sea trials, acceptable vibration standards and criteria. Concluding sections treat methods of remediation of vibration problems that are found after the ship is completed, including modifications to propeller design, structure and machinery. 

 

Principles of Naval Architecture Series: Intact Stability

List: $50.00
Members Domestic: $40.00
Student Members: $35.00

Written by Dr. Colin S. Moore, Manager, Advanced Analysis and Salvage Engineering at Herbert Engineering Corp. and a member of SNAME ad hoc committees on Double Hull Intact Stability and Parametric Rolling, the new volume in the PNA series discusses various effects on stability, such as changes in hull geometry, changes in weight distribution, suspended weights, partial support due to grounding or drydocking and free liquid surfaces in tanks or other internal spaces.
The concept of dynamic stability is introduced, starting from the ship’s response to an impulsive heeling moment. The effects of waves on resistance to capsize are discussed noting that, in some cases, the wave effect may result in diminished stability and dangerous dynamic effects.
Principles of Naval Architecture Series: The Geometry of Ships
by John Lechter Edited by J. Randolph Paulling (PNA-GOS) 2009 ISBN 0-939773-67-8, Softbound, 1lb.

Although there are still practitioners of the traditional art of manual fairing of ship lines, the geometry of most hull forms ranging from small yachts to the largest commercial and naval ships are now almost invariably developed using one of the commercially available hull modeling software packages. Such software normally includes, in addition to the hull modeling and display functions, routines for the computation of hydrostatics, stability and other hull properties. It may form a part of a comprehensive computer-based design and manufacturing system or it may be included in a shipboard computer-based operational system used for cargo load monitoring and damage control. The present volume presents first, the theoretical basis for these hull modeling systems and second, the procedures for computing hull geometric, buoyancy and other properties by mathematical methods utilizing such models.

The emphasis is upon the nomenclature and fundamentals underlying several different methods of hull geometrical modeling with the intention of providing the understanding needed to use intelligently both existing and future tools. Some topics included in the volume are continuity and fairness of surfaces, B-spline and NURBS representation, ruled and developable surfaces, subdivision surfaces, and classic computational topics such as hydrostatic properties and initial stability. This is a subject area characterized by a continuing stream of innovation and new software products so the objective here is to present the basis needed to understand and keep abreast of new developments in the field.
The Principles of Naval Architecture Series: Strength of Ships and Ocean Structures
by Alaa Mansour and Don Liu Edited by J. Randolph Paulling (PNA-SOS) 2008, Softbound, 226 pp., 2 lbs. ISBN 0-939773-66-x
List: $65.00
Members: $55.00
Student Members: $45.00

This new revised volume on Strength of Ships and Ocean Structures addresses several topics of ship strength in greater depth than in the previous edition of PNA, bringing much of the material up to date and introducing some new subjects. There is extensive coverage of the latest developments in dynamic sea load predictions, including nonlinear load effects, slamming and impact plus new sections on the mechanics of collisions and grounding. The incorporation of the various loadings in structural design and analysis is covered including long term extreme and cumulative fatigue effects. There is a more extensive treatment of strength analysis using finite element methods than was included in the previous edition. Ultimate strength evaluation of the hull girder and components is covered and there is a section on structural safety assessment applying reliability concepts including fatigue effects. Particular attention is given to problems encountered in ships of special type and size that have been developed in recent years, many of which, by reason of size, configuration or lack of a history of design experience, require a design approach based on first principles. Modern developments in classification society strength standards and modern rule developments are covered including Common Structural Rules for tankers and bulk carriers. The concluding sections discuss materials other than steel, including composites and aluminum, and vessels of unusual geometry and performance such as multihulls, hydrofoils, and SWATH craft.
Marine Powering Prediction and Propulsors
by Neil Bose (MPPP) 2008, Softbound, 195 pp., 1 lb. ISBN 0-939773-65-1
List:  $96.00;  Members: $80.00; Student Members:   $80.00
This book by Professor Neil Bose is an excellent interpretation of the hydrodynamics of the prediction of ship powering performance of various types of ship propulsors. It is based on extensive studies carried out by Professor Bose and his students over the last several years at the Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada, and his long association with the Institute for Ocean Technology (IOT), National Research Council of Canada. As a result of his International Towing Tank Conference (ITTC) technical committee membership, he has captured the accepted international state-of-the-art of ship powering prediction.

Professor Bose has extensively discussed most types of ship propulsors, including oscillating foils and wind-assisted propulsion devices. He has included a general discussion of ship resistance and the prediction of powering performance from model tests, primarily for conventional screw propellers. He has included the problems of screw propellers operating in ice, particularly with regard to strength. He has incorporated extensive lists of references and has included examples to be worked by the reader. As such, the book should be particularly useful to students and those responsible for making powering predictions, especially to those getting started in the field.

Ship Production
by Richard Lee Storch, Colin P. Hammon, Howard McRaven Bunch, and Richard C. Moore (SPSC) 1995, Softbound, 420 pp., 2 lbs., softcover ISBN # 0-939773-57-0
List Set:  $85.00;   Members: $65.00; Student Members:  $49.00
In 1982 the leaders of the national Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) recognized the need for greater focus on shipbuilding education; the result was the establishment of an education panel (SP-9) within the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers Ship Production Committee-the implementation arm of the NSRP. The first project authorized by the panel was a textbook on advanced concepts of ship production. This edition was revised in 1995 to update the contents to be consistent with technological advances made since the book’s publication in 1988.

The focus of this book is state-of-the-art technology and its application to the principals and practices of shipbuilding employing group technology. The authors present a system aimed at optimizing productivity in shipbuilding under current technological conditions. Also included are chapters devoted to basic manufacturing and construction processes and the design for production and CAD/CAM applications. The book is suitable for the upperclass undergraduate and graduate courses, as well as serving as a valuable resource for practicing shipbuilding professionals. Chapte one contains history of shipbuilding and statistics relating to production and market share. Chapter two has been expanded to more directly incorporate material relating to shipbuilding economic theory. Chapter four contains new material, which relates to the fabrication process. New material has been added to Chapter five to more accurately reflect the conditions of current ship production facilities. Chapter six (Ship Design and Engineering), Chapter seven (Planning, Scheduling and Production Control), and Chapter eight (Accuracy Control) have all been updated to reflect the impact of computers on these important areas. Chapter nine (Ship Conversion, Overhaul, and Repair) has been totally rewritten to reflect the experiences of a major consulting firm that has extensively supported shipyards in improvement of their conversion and repair operations.
Stability and Safety of Ships: Risk of Capsizing
V.L. Belenky & N.B. Sevastianov (SSS) 2007, 445 pages, 3 lbs, hardcover ISBN 0-939773-61-9
List:  $85.00;  Members: $60.00; Student Members:  $50.00
This book deals with the many modern approaches to analyze ship dynamic stability and capsizing. The emphasis is on probabilistic assessment of ship dynamic stability. However, in order to evaluate ship dynamic stability and capsizing one must first formulate the nonlinear ship dynamics problem. This book will do much to raise the level of understanding of ship dynamic stability research to that of hydrodynamics and structures, and paves the way to consideration of ship stability safety as one aspect of the up-and-coming discipline of nonlinear dynamics of ships.

Shallow Water and Supercritical Ships
by A. Lyakhovitsky (SWAS) 2007, 277 pages, Hardbound ISBN 978-09742019-5-5
This monograph presents systematic and detailed results of studying the hydrodynamics of ships in shallow water. This problem is increasingly important in view of the current trend of building larger and faster ships, for which shallow water effect manifests in greater water depths. The author explains in detail how ship performance declines in shallow water at speeds approaching critical speed, and how attempts to boost the engine propulsion can be wasteful if the ship is not designed for optimal regimes at subcritical speeds with ability to transit to supercritical regimes. Detailed description is also given to how the energy intended to propel a ship at near-critical speeds in shallow water is wasted on generating destructive and dangerous waves. The solitary wave phenomenon is considered, as well as ways to take advantage of traveling at supercritical speeds with enhanced propulsive efficiency and mitigated wake wash. Presented results of theoretical and experimental studies in model and full scale conditions cover a wide range of ship types including large sea-going cargo vessels, fast ferries, naval ships and patrol craft, and vessels for inner waterways.

Special attention is paid to vessels designed for operating at supercritical speeds. Practical recommendations are given for calculating the hydrodynamic characteristics of ships in shallow water. The book contains seven chapters, extensive bibliography, subject index, and name index.
