It is intended to support introductory courses to ship design as a text book. The present book is a thoroughly updated and enhanced, new edition of a book published originally in Greek language by the author Papanikolaou, A. Papanikolaou, K. Anastassopoulos, NTUA publications, Athens, , which cover specific elements, methods and examples of application of ship design and are being used by students of NTUA for the elabo- ration of the assigned Ship Design Project work.
The book consists of six 6 main chapters and five 5 appendices with sup- portive materials. Chapter 1 gives an introduction to maritime transport and to marine vehicles in general, defines the objectives and elaborates on the basic methods of ship design. Chapter 5 covers the criteria for selecting the engine installation, the propulsion plant and steering devices of the ship.
The author used in the development of the original form of this book material of classical ship design, as he was taught it in the early 70ties by the memorable Professor Erwin Strohbusch at the Technical University of Berlin. This material was later complemented by valuable elements from the lecture notes of Professors H.
The book also covers the relevant international regulations applicable to the different ship types, contemporary materials and fabrication techniques. The material in the book is arranged in seven sections introducing readers to the world of shipbuilding and covering the fundamental ship design, dimensions and categories, as well as the development of the types.
The content also considers the developments in the shipyard layout together with the development of the original arrangement and structural design plus the major processes that are commonly involved in the plate or section preparation and machining.
The text of the book has been already found invaluable by the students of marine technology, practicing naval architects and marine engineers due to the amount of the useful information this book provides and reasonable arrangement of the sections. This is what has gained so much popularity to this release of "Ship Construction" by D. Eyres and G. The subject definitions actually form the basis of the ship mechanics and lay in the foundation of any strength related calculations.
That is why it is critically important for the ship designers and shipbuilders to have good and thorough understanding of them. Written by the professional captain, the document will be of great use for the people who are not involved in ship design, but rather for those in need of having general understanding of the topic. As we know, the shear force is the one tending to shear, or break, a beam perpendicular to the major axis of that beam.
For the purpose of the relevant calculations, the hull of the vessel is normally considered a beam. When the vessel is afloat, resting on the surface of the water, the longitudinal deflections will be experienced by the hull; they are caused by the uneven weight and buoyance distribution along the hull length.
The subject stresses are always there regardless of the ship loading, and cannot be avoided. Over the past decades, the members of the Ship Structure Committee have collected and analyzed extensive service cases of the unsatisfactory vessel designs concerning their structural part.
The material contained in the document is intended to help the ship designers, including both naval and commercial ships, to specify the cost effective and technically sound details. The details provided in the pages of the present guide combine the service experience with the costs of fabrication.
There are also many data tables, diagrams, pictures and other supplementary materials intended to help the ship designers when selecting the appropriate details of the structure. First of all, the authors provide a brief overview of the sample failures of the ship structures, structural tolerances and material fatigue, as well as general philosophy of the ship design. The performance of the details is covered in the separate chapter, followed with the information on the estimated man-hours needed for the fabrication.
Several practical recommendations conclude the main part of the guide. There are also three appendices with the additional information making the guide even more useful. The world famous Titanic was considered by so many people, including the professional ship designers, naval architects, and shipbuilders, to be an absolutely unsinkable vessel. Featuring the efficient and redundant shipboard safety systems based on the very latest technological achievements of that time, the vessel was not even considered to possess a full complement of the lifesaving appliances.
As we know, the sad truth is that her maiden voyage resulted in a collision with the iceberg leading to the loss of thousands of people including passengers and crew members. This catastrophe is deservedly treated as one of the most tragic maritime disasters in the history.
The author of this book wanted to analyze the entire project of building this ship, from the design stage and up to the launching, to reveal and show the compromises that were made at the beginning of the project, eventually resulting in the flaws. One of the features of this publication is that it will be equally interesting to the ship designers and the IT people since the author made every effort to show how the lessons obtained from this catastrophe could be applied to the various IT projects, as it happens that the designers claim and think they have launched a truly perfect solution….
The content of the publication is focusing on the most important areas of the preliminary ship structural design, presenting the relevant information in clear and easily understandable manner.
