The general approach Earlier Parts have given a broad picture of the economic environment within which marine transport operates, and the mechanics of making economic calculations. Ship design links the two, i.e., the marine transport requirements must be developed into a series of feasible ship designs
The design of a ship involves a selection of the features of form, size, proportions, and other factors which are open to choice, in combination with those features which are imposed by circumstances beyond the control of the design naval architect. Each new ship should do some
The outside surface of a ship is the surface of a solid with curvature in two directions. The curves which express this surface are not in general given by mathematical expressions, although attempts have been made from time to time to express the surface mathematically. It is necessary
The power required to propel a new ship is subject to a formidable number of variable items. The family tree of power for propulsion (Fig. 1) shows these divided into two main groups. One is concerned with the resistance to motion caused by the interaction of the hull of the ship with the surrounding water
