Written by an award-winning naval architecture author and former vice-president of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA), the fifth edition of Introduction to Naval Architecture has been fully updated to take in advances in the field and is ideal both for those approaching the subject for the first time and those looking to update or refresh their knowledge on areas outside of their direct expertise.

This book provides a broad appreciation of the science and art of naval architecture, explaining the subject in physical rather than in mathematical terms. While covering basic principles, such as hull geometry, propulsion, and stability, the book also addresses contemporary topics, such as computer aided design and computer aided manufacture (CAD/CAM). The new edition reflects the continuing developments in technology, changes in international regulations and recent research.

Knowledge of the fundamentals of naval architecture is essential not only for newcomers to the field but also the wealth of non-naval architects working in the marine area, including marine engineers, marine surveyors and ship crews. This book provides the most well-known and trusted introduction to the topic, offering a clear and concise take on the basics of this broad field.

Praise for previous edition

"...a clear and concise introduction to the subject, giving a good grasp of the basics of naval architecture." ― Maritime Journal

"...my go-to book for understanding the general principles of naval architecture. The book is well-written and easy to understand." ― Amazon.com reviewer

Review

"…nicely presented and provides an up to date introduction to naval architecture that would be hard to better in one volume by a single author of eminence in naval architecture…much to commend in keeping the fully capable naval architect abreast of recent developments, with the direct knowledge provided and guidance to further detail through not just publications but also useful websites in the comprehensive reading list."--The Naval Architect, March 2014

Naval Architecture Principles for Today's Commercial Ships

E. C. Tupper is an educator in the studies of Naval Architecture, His book, Introduction to Naval Architecture is going to be a classic in the field. His writing is up-to-date and brings ship design into the present day with examples of ships we see pictured in magazines on shipping fleets. Well written and easily understood. It has found a spot on my book shelves next to Basic Ship Theory and Basic Naval Architecture.

Great condition, very technical

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2014

Great condition, very technical, but with a background in Naval technology and basic ship knowledge, was able to follow along. Current mechanical drafting and engineering student and was a good supplement to my studies.

Introduction To Naval Architecture

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 21, 2013

Bought this book to gain a deeper insight into the process of hull design, resistance, powering calculations etc. and this book delivers that and so much more. Heavy going in places for the enthusiastic amateur, it is a reference book that I can see me returning to many times in the coming months and years.

This is the machineries handbook of Naval design

Reviewed in Canada on April 30, 2013

Verified Purchase

If you are looking for a general overview of naval architecture, this isn't it. This book is quite detailed, but lacks any sort of 'rule of thumb' type information.

Covers the whole spectrum for designing floating structures.
