Local Strength of Ship Structures

<p>Ship structures can be extremely large, and their structural arrangements are often complex and of a considerable variety. <i>Local Strength of Ship Structures </i>examines the basic aspects of ship structural analysis and design using mathematical tools, with an emphasis on an understanding of the physics of the behaviour of these structures. A fundamental understanding of these concepts is essential to use computer-based tools effectively. In addition to mathematical models, reference is made to test data that have been obtained over many years and used to gain insight into ship structural behaviour.</p><p>Features:</p><ul><li>Provides an introduction to local ship strength problems, structural arrangements and the different types of materials used in ship construction</li><li>Examines the fundamentals of engineering mechanics with a particular focus on marine structure problems</li><li>Covers the basics of ship structural analysis and design using mathematical tools</li></ul>
