Basic Naval Architecture

Teaches the basics of ship stability as enforced by international law Includes probabilistic ship damage assessment for those classes of ships now required to have it

Covers second generation ship stability methods as required by the International Maritime Organisation as of 2016

Brings the reader up to date with the modern day methodology which is to affect ship design over the next 50 years

Autorentext
Professor Philip Wilson has worked at the University of Southampton for more than forty years. He helped start the Department of Ship Science, which is now an integral part of the Faculty of Engineering and the Environment. During this period, he has focused on the determination of the response of ships, of all designs, to waves and as part of that process, he has also lectured on ship stability.
