Stability and Safety of Ships, Volume II: Risk of Capsizing

Reprint. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Soft cover. 444 pp. This book covers prospective developments in the area of stability of ships as a basis for tomorrow's regulations; it contains a detailed review of research and results in the field. The framework of future risk-based stability regulations is considered. Then the book examines physical phenomena associated with the risk of capsizing in different situations. Much attention is paid to the mechanics of capsizing, as it seems to be necessary for interpretation and validation of numerical simulation results. The book is addressed to graduate students in Naval Architecture, consultants and scientists working for R&D centers and departments of maritime administrations, classification societies and other bodies responsible for the development of stability regulations and operation guides. It can be used for reference, study, and training in the maritime community, from ship designers to ship operators, from administrators to researchers. This book also might be useful for scientists interested in engineering applications of nonlinear dynamics. New. …
