Ship Construction, Seventh Edition, offers guidance for ship design
and shipbuilding from start to finish. It provides an overview of
current shipyard techniques, safety in shipyard practice, materials
and strengths, welding and cutting, and ship structure, along with
computer-aided design and manufacture, international regulations
for ship types, new materials, and fabrication technologies.
Comprised of seven sections divided into 32 chapters, the book
introduces the reader to shipbuilding, including the basic design
of a ship, ship dimensions and category, and development of ship
types. It then turns to a discussion of rules and regulations
governing ship strength and structural integrity, testing of
materials used in ship construction, and welding practices and weld
testing. Developments in the layout of a shipyard are also
considered, along with development of the initial structural and
arrangement design into information usable by production; the
processes involved in the preparation and machining of a plate or
section; and how a ship structure is assembled. A number of
websites containing further information, drawings, and photographs,
as well as regulations that apply to ships and their construction,
are listed at the end of most chapters. This text is an invaluable
resource for students of marine sciences and technology, practicing
marine engineers and naval architects, and professionals from other
disciplines ranging from law to insurance, accounting, and
logistics.
