Textbook in PDF format The aim of this second revision (third edition) of the Society’s successful Principles of Naval Architecture was to bring the subject matter up-to-date through revising or rewriting areas of greatest recent technical advances, which meant that some chapters would require many more changes than others. The basic objective of the book, however, remained unchanged: to provide a timely survey of the basic principles in the ﬁeld of naval architecture for the use of both students and active professionals, making clear that research and engineering are continuing in almost all branches of the subject. References to available sources of additional details and to ongoing work to be followed in the future are included. The preparation of this third edition was simpliﬁed by an earlier decision to incorporate a number of sections into the companion SNAME publication, Ship Design and Construction, which was revised in 1980. The topics of Load Lines, Tonnage Admeasurement and Launching seemed to be more appropriate for the latter book, and so Chapters V, VI, and XI became IV, V and XVII respectively, in Ship Design and Construction. This left eight chapters, instead of 11, for the revised Principles of Naval Architecture, which has since become nine in three volumes. At the outset of work on the revision, the Control Committee decided that the increasing importance of high-speed computers demanded that their use be discussed in the individual chapters instead of in a separate appendix as before. It was also decided that throughout the book more attention should be given to the rapidly developing advanced marine vehicles. In regard to units of measure, it was decided that the basic policy would be to use the International System of Units (8.1.). Since this is a transition period, conventional US. (or "English”) units would be given in parentheses, where practical, throughout the book. This follows the practice adopted for the Society’s companion volume, Ship Design and Construction. The US. Metric Conversion Act of 1975 (PL. 94-168) declared a national policy of increasing the use of metric systems of measurement and established the US. Metric Board to coordinate voluntary conversion to 81. The Maritime Administration, assisted by a SNAME ad hoc task group, developed a Metric Practice Guide to "help obtain uniform metric practice in the marine industry,” and this guide was used here as a basic reference. Following this guide, ship displacement in metric tons (1000 kg) represents mass rather than weight. (In this book the familiar symbol, A, is reserved for the displacement mass). When forces are considered, the corresponding unit is the kilonewton (kN), which applies, for example, to resistance and to displacement weight (symbol W, where W = pAg) or to buoyancy forces. When conventional or English units are used, displacement weight is in the familiar long ton unit (2240‘lb); which numerically is 1.015 X metric ton. Power is usually in kilowatts (1 kW = 1.34 hp). A conversion table also is included in the Nomenclature at the end of each volume. The ﬁrst volume of the third edition of Principles of Naval Architecture, comprising Chapters I through IV, deals with the essentially static principles of naval architecture, leaving dynamic aspects to the remaining volumes. The second volume consists of Chapters V Resistance, VI Propulsion and VII Vibration, each of which has been extensively revised or rewritten. Volume III contains the two ﬁnal chapters, VIII Motions in Waves and IX Controllability. Because of important recent theoretical and experimental developments in these ﬁelds, it was necessary to rewrite most of both chapters and to add much new material. But the state-of-the-art continues to advance, and so extensive references to continuing work are included. Preface. Acknowledgments. Motion in waves. Controllability. Nomenclature. Index
