The monograph presents the main results of the author's sixty-year
activity in science and engineering fields regarding the
application of various multi-hull ships. The shown data are based
mainly on the wide experimental results of the author. For fullness
of description, some problems are explained in brief by the
experimental results of other authors whose names are shown in the
text and references. The scope of topics includes a brief history
of applications, a list of types, hydrostatics and stability,
towing resistance and propulsion in calm water and high seas,
seaworthiness, maneuverability, external loads, structural
arrangements and strength, general arrangement, and proposed
concept designs. The scope of architectural types encompasses the
variety of multi-hull "species" from catamarans to trimarans as
well as the other triple-hull ships, and ships with a small
water-plane area (SWA ships). The type and size of ship range from
small fast crafts to large ferries, from passenger ships to
transatlantic container-carriers, and from high-speed patrol boats
to naval combat and auxiliary ships. This is a development of a
kind of technical encyclopedia previously published as three books:
Multi-hull Ships by V. Dubrovsky and A. Lyakhovitsky (2001), Ships
with Outriggers, by V. Dubrovsky (2004), Ships with Small
Water-Plane Area, by V. Dubrovsky, K. Matveev, S. Sutulo, with
detailed explanations of the newest data. In this respect, the book
is unique and the most universal one written in English today. A
brief history of applications is given as the base for future
developments. The introduction contains a list of ship types and
full terminology. Chapter One describes the specificity of general
arrangement. Chapter Two speaks of how stability and
non-sinkability differ clearly from the same qualities of
mono-hulls. Chapter Three delves into resistance in calm water
(major specificity and its use, series test results of catamarans
with low-lengthening hulls, and twin- and triple-hull SWA models).
Chapter Four is about seakeeping and performance on high seas
(specifics of motion and the universal method of comparative
evaluation). Chapter Five teaches readers about controllability and
maneuverability specificity. Chapter Six shows structural strength
(external loads, hull girder stress analysis and design, and
simplified methods). Chapter Seven deals with design (basic
factors, specific design algorithms and limitations, some new
concepts: super-fast wave-piercing trimaran; "semi-gliding" ships
with small water-plane area, S/P SWA ships, feeder and fast
container-carriers, motor yachts, carriers of helicopters and
unmanned aircraft; transatlantic container-carriers, cruise ships,
passenger ships for unequipped coasts, ships for seismic
researching, multi-purpose pleasure and inexpensive research
vessels, some small-sized vessels, and combat ships from corvettes
to aircraft-carriers).
