This comprehensive text contains all important concepts

and formulae of applicable geometry necessary for a


complete understanding of the subject. Now available for

the first time in a single volume, it meets the present and

future needs of architects, engineers and designers. Clearly

and elegantly written, profusely illustrated with line dia-

grams, it may be read either with complete continuity or

piecemeal, one section at a time. A great many mathe-

matical concepts are introduced in a form which is easy to

follow for readers new to this subject. The author will

inspire and encourage those who have need to sharpen their

geometrical wits, develop their powers of visualisation, and

improve t"eir spatial comprehension.



The author fosters a better overall understanding of the

complete geometrical syllabus, and promotes its widespread

application. The book has become a standard undergraduate

treatment of the relevant geometrical aspects, and intro-

duces the reader to the broader reaches of computational

geometry for design and man.ufacture.



The remarkable success of this course text in its first year

of publication has encouraged the author and the publishers

to issue a reprint with revisions. It now possesses the added

bounty of some 200 individual problem exercises, both to

reinforce its didactic qualities and to and establish

student comprehension. The author has provided answers

to most problems, and hints (where appropriate), all

cross-referenced to the appropriate section of the text.



Readership: Engineers, designers and architects in civil, mechanical,

production and structural engineering. Aeronautical, automobile,

architectural and marine engineers. Programmers, software writers,

and all with an interest in computer-aided engineering. Lecturers

and undergraduate students of mathematics and related fields.

Buckling and Postbuckling Structures: Experimental, Analytical and Numerical Studies (Computational and Experiemental Methods in Structures): B. G. Falzon, Aliabadi. M. H. 

This book provides an in-depth treatment of the study of the stability of engineering structures. Contributions from internationally recognized leaders in the field ensure a wide coverage of engineering disciplines in which structural stability is of importance, in particular the analytical and numerical modelling of structural stability applied to aeronautical, civil, marine and offshore structures.
The results from a number of comprehensive experimental programs are also presented, thus enhancing our understanding of stability phenomena as well as validating the analytical and computational solution schemes presented. A variety of structural materials are investigated with special emphasis on carbon-fibre composites, which are being increasingly utilized in weight-critical structures. Instabilities at the meso- and micro-scales are also discussed. This book will be particularly relevant to professional engineers, graduate students and researchers interested in structural stability.

Thermoset Nanocomposites for Engineering Applications by Rumiana Kotsilkova

Thermoset Nanocomposites for Engineering Applications by Rumiana Kotsilkova

 Thermoset nanocomposites are complex hybrid materials which integrate nanoparticles with polymers to produce a novel nanostructure, with extraordinary properties. Organic/inorganic hybrids are some of the most challenging nanostructures investigated to date. What differentiates nanocomposite materials from classical composites is the degree of control of fabrication, processing and performance, that can be achieved down to a very small scale. Thermoset polymer nanocomposites have received less interest in their scientific development and engineering applications than thermoplastic nanocomposites. However, some of these materials may be relatively easy to bring into production. The understanding of characteristics of the interphase region and the estimation of technology-structure-property relationships are the current research frontier in nanocomposite materials. This book summarises the experimental results of work on thermoset nanocomposites obtained from the collaboration of three research groups from Bulgaria, Greece and Italy, and analyses some of results reported in the literature.
The engineering resin nanocomposites are restricted to the most commonly used thermosets, such as epoxy resins, unsaturated polyesters, acrylic resins, and so on. Various nanoparticles have been found to be useful for nanocomposite preparation with thermosetting polymers, along with smectite clay, diamond, graphite, alumina and ferroxides. Thermoset nanocomposites represent a new technology solution. These new formulations benefit from improved dimensional/thermal stability, flame retardancy and chemical resistance; and have potential applications in marine, industrial and construction markets. This book helps to answer questions related to the design of nanocomposites by controlling the processing technology and structure. The book is addressed not only to researchers and engineers who actively work in the broad field of nanocomposite technology, but also to newcomers and students who have just started investigations in this multidisciplinary field of material science.

The Dynamics of Marine Craft: Maneuvering and Seakeeping (Advanced Series on Ocean Engineering, 22.)" by Edward M. Lewandowski

The Dynamics of Marine Craft: Maneuvering and Seakeeping (Advanced Series on Ocean Engineering, 22.)" by  Edward M. Lewandowski

World Scientific Publishing Company; 1st edition (December 2003) | English | 9810247559 | 300 pages | PDF | 13.46 MB


This book presents a theoretical treatment, as well as a summary of practical methods of computation, of the forces and moments that act on marine craft. Its aim is to provide the tools necessary for the prediction or simulation of craft motions in calm water and in waves. In addition to developing the required equations, the author gives relations that permit at least approximate evaluation of the coefficients so that useful results can be obtained. The approach begins with the equations of motion for rigid bodies, relative to fixed- and moving-coordinate systems: then, the hydrodynamic forces are examined, starting with hydrostatics and progressing to the forces on a moving vehicle in calm water and (after a review of water-wave theory) in waves. Several detailed examples are presented, including calculations of hydrostatics, horizontal- and vertical-plane directional stability, and wave-induced motions. Also included are unique discussions on various effects, such as fin-hull interactions, numerical stability of integrators, heavy torpedoes, and the dynamics of high-speed craft.

The book is intended to be an introductory level graduate text and a reference for the practicing professional.Download

Target Detection by Marine Radar ,John Briggs

Target Detection by Marine Radar ,John Briggs

Radar is a legal necessity for the safe navigation of merchant ships and, within vessel traffic services, is indispensable to the operation of major ports and harbors.
Target Detection by Marine Radar concentrates solely on civil marine operations and explains how civil surveillance radars detect their targets. There are numerous diagrams and worked examples to help the reader understand the principles underlying radar operation and to quantify the importance of factors such as technical features of specific equipment, the weather, and the ability of the operator.

It presents key facts, backed up throughout by relevant theory, illustrations and photographs, and also includes valuable with key engineering data, facts and formulas, plus revision one-liners.

Written by an experienced marine engineering consultant, author and lecturer, this essential introduction and reference for students and those newly at sea will appeal to anyone involved with ship design, marine engineering, naval architecture, as well as those engaged in the day-to-day operation of ships in port.

* Accessible information on understanding and improving ship performance at your fingertips

* Ideal for marine engineering students and those studying for certificates of competency

* Covers all key aspects of ship design and performance, with exam revision one-liners.
