Synopsis

Foundations of engineering mechanics for ships and structures

A clear, practical introduction that blends theory with real‑world examples and diagrams.

This edition surveys the core ideas behind how structures and machines work, from the strength of beams to the motion of ships. It also explains how technical education in naval architecture and marine engineering unfolds, including hands‑on training and drawing work that turns concepts into usable designs.

• Explore stability, oscillation, and the theory of the steam engine as they relate to marine engineering
• Examine resistance and propulsion of ships, plus the effects of water and motion on performance
• See how applied mechanics fits into naval architecture, marine engineering, and related curricula
• Learn the value of practical training, drawings, and experimental work in understanding theory

Ideal for students of engineering, naval architecture, and professionals seeking a solid foundation in applied mechanics.
