This textbook is a complete guide to understanding ship hydrostatics in ship design and ship performance. Adrian Biran guides readers from first principles through basic and applied hydrostatic and ship stability theory, and introduces contemporary mathematical techniques for hydrostatic modelling and analysis. Real life examples of the practical application of hydrostatics are used to explain the theory and calculations; and to illustrate the effect shifting weights and centralShipsHydrodynamicsStability of shipsElectronic books.ShipsHydrodynamics.Stability of ships.623.81Biran Adrian27477MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455738403321Ship hydrostatics and stability1212911UNINA
