Reeds Marine Surveying is aimed at students of marine surveying, professional marine surveyors, boatyard operators and technically-minded boat owners, and covers the latest marine surveying technology, including analysis of the mechanical behaviour of materials, failure analysis, stress concentration, fatigue and fracture, corrosion, wood-damaging organisms, polymer chemistry, and the composition and characteristics of common plastics, metal, alloys and composite materials.
This new edition expands its scope to include coverage of surveying topics relevant to ships and class surveying and includes more examples of common problems and the practical elements of surveying, as well as be updated throughout in line with technological developments, guidelines and best practice.
Reeds Marine Surveying has been in print for over twenty years and excellently serves the community of marine surveyors by providing technically robust presentations of this discipline. It extends the inquiry of inspection and safety beyond anecdote and into foundation principles and technologies.
If you have designs for wonderful machines in mind, but aren't sure
how to turn your ideas into real, engineered products that can be
manufactured, marketed, and used, this book is for you. Engineering
professor and veteran maker Tom Ask helps you integrate mechanical
engineering concepts into your creative design process by
presenting them in a rigorous but largely nonmathematical format.
Through mind stories and images, this book provides you with a firm
grounding in material mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics,
and heat transfer. Students, product and mechanical designers, and
inventive makers will also explore nontechnical topics such as
aesthetics, ethnography, and branding that influence product appeal
and user preference. Learn the importance of designing functional
products that also appeal to users in subtle ways Explore the role
of aesthetics, ethnography, brand management, and material culture
in product design Dive into traditional mechanical engineering
disciplines related to the behavior of solids, liquids, and gases
Understand the human factors of design, such as ergonomics,
kinesiology, anthropometry, and biomimicry Get an overview of
available mechanical systems and components for creating your
product
