Year: 1917 Language: english Author: Cecil H. Peabody Publisher: John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Edition: 4th Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 680 Description: SINCE the publication of the first edition of this book, the subjects resistance and power of ships an:d screw propulsion have been placed on a much more satisfactory basis by the experimental work of Naval Constructor Taylor and R. E. Froude, Esq., so that the corresponding chapters can be presented more simply and with much greater certainty. The intention of this work is to give in a consistent and connected form the commonly accepted theory of naval architecture. So far as possible the treatment is simple and direct, especially for such subjects as displacement, stability, propulsion, and strength. A satisfactory ,treatment of some other parts, like waves and rolling of ships, is necessarily somewhat more intricate, but these chapters may be passed over in the first reading, or may be omitted altogether. A simple form of modem hydrodynamics is developed and applied to the theory of waves, including the common or trochoidal theory, the theory of irrotational waves, together with the effe..:t of surface tension, and a statement of Scott-Russell's solitary wave. A discussion is given of the rolling of ships in an unresisting medium, in quiet water, and among waves, including experiments on resistance to rolling and the application of the results of such experiments to the dctermination of the probable maximum rolling of ships at sea.
