This book is intended for the use of students at shipbuilding
institutes and may also serve as a text for research and design
engineers engaged in ship construction. The book treats the
problems concerned with the buoyancy and stability of a complete
and damaged ship encountered by the naval architect in the design,
building and operation of ships. It presents the theory of the
subject matter and the methods of calculations employed in ship
construction. The technique of calculations is illustrated by
numerical examples in a number of cases. In distinction to other
books dealing with the problems of buoyancy and stability of ships,
this text covers both static and dynamic effects. Some theoretical
propositions and calculations have been developed by the author and
are published in the world naval literature for the first time.
Vladimir Semyonov-Tyan-Shansky, Doctor of Technical Sciences, is
professor and head of the Department of Naval Architecture at the
Leningrad Shipbuilding Institute. Dr. Semyonov-Tyan-Shansky is
conducting wide research work in the field of theoretical naval
architecture, applied hydromechanics and theoretical mechanics. He
has worked out some problems of the theory of buoyancy and
stability of ships with consideration of static and dynamic effects
which is an important contribution to the theory of naval
architecture. Dr. Semyonov-Tyan-Shansky is the author of several
books and a large number of scientific papers and reports. The main
of these are the following: Statics of the Ship, Short Course in
Theory of Ship, and Statics and Dynamics of the Ship.
