Practical Design of Ships and Other Floating Structures

This book gathers the peer-reviewed proceedings of the 14 th International Symposium, PRADS 2019, held in Yokohama, Japan, in September 2019. It brings together naval architects, engineers, academic researchers and professionals who are involved in ships and other floating structures to share the latest research advances in the field. The contents cover a broad range of topics, including design synthesis for ships and floating systems, production, hydrodynamics, and structures and materials. Reflecting the latest advances, the book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners alike.

Presents the latest research on the practical design of floating structures Brings together a range of interdisciplinary research topics of interest to the scientific community and industry alike Gathers the proceedings of the leading international conference on naval architecture and ocean engineering
