Stability
and Safety of Ships, Volume II: Risk of Capsizing
by: V.L. Belenky & N.B Sevastianov
|
This
book deals with the many modern approaches to analyze
ship dynamic stability and capsizing. 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.
Order Stability and Safety of Ships, Volume II: Risk of
Capsizing at www.sname.org

Time to Renew your
Subscriptions to SNAME Journals!
Marine
Technology,
the Society’s flagship journal, is crucial reading for
anyone interested in the research and development that impacts
all aspects of the marine industry. It is divided into two sections:
one contains Society news and articles on issues affecting the
entire industry; the other contains peer-reviewed research articles.
Journal
of Ship Production,
which has influenced the worldwide development of ship production
engineering. Each issue contains a well-rounded selection of
technical papers relevant to ship professionals.
Journal
of Ship Research,
which provides access to highly technical papers on applied
research in hydrodynamics, propulsion, ship motions, structures
and vibrations. Many of these papers bear directly on disciplines
outside ship and ocean science and engineering, such as civil
and mechanical engineering, applied mathematics, and numerical
analysis, making it a valuable tool to professionals in many
fields.
SNAME’s
Transactions, published annually
since 1983, which include annual reports and papers presented
at the Society’s Maritime Technology Conference &
Expo and Ship Production Symposium, with discussions of the

A
New York Times editorial on September 21 noted that "while
the American government has been occupied in Mesopotamia, and
its European allies continue to starve their defense programs,
other navies - in particular those of China, India, Japan and
South Korea - have been quietly modernizing and in some cases
enlarging. Click
