DESCRIPTION:
This book will serve as a text for students and as a reference manual for practicing engineers, naval architects, and designers." Proceedings, a publication of the United States Naval Institute, July 1994 . Particular attention is given to the interplay between aspects of hydrodynamics, structure and propulsion, and many examples of concept design algorithms are provided. "Part of Cambridge University Press's Ocean Technology Series,this book explores the many engineering and architectural aspects of submarine design
"Good general introduction for technically oriented reader" according to Thomas Faith. Well organized book which ranges over the topics of general design principles to the mechanics of pressure hulls, boyancy, propolusion and underwater hydrostatics. For the technicaly oriented beginner, insights into the specifics design parameters suffer by the authours' frequent ommission of definitions for their terms. Overall well worth the time to orienting oneself to the subject of submarine design.. Tugboat said Good technical look at sub design. The guy who didn't like this book must not have read anything other than the back cover. I used this book when studying for engineering quals on the USS Albuquerque, and it was of great assistance to me. It does have some flaws, which would mainly be an issue for people with no exposure to naval engineering. That being said, it's readable enough that anyone can learn quite a bit about submarine design. The discussions on hull shape,drag, and propulsion alone are worth the. A Customer said Excellent book for anyone interested on submarines.. This book offers excellent information from a military point of view but, it is extremly usefull for any submersible. The language is extremly simple even for non-navy oriented readers. The ilustrations are very clear and the book covers from history of military subs to almost how to plan its construction.
The authors explain concepts of hydrodynamics, structure, powering and dynamics, in addition to architectural considerations that bear on the submarine design process. Submarine design makes extensive use of computers, and the authors give examples of algorithms used in concept design. They pay particular attention to the interplay among these aspects of design, and devote a final chapter to the generation of the concept design for the submarine as a whole. This book shows how the engineering and architectural aspects of submarine design relate to each other, and describes the operational performance required of a vessel. The book will serve as a text for students and as a reference manual for practicing engineers and designers in marine and naval engineering.. They provide engineering insight as well as an understanding of the intricacies of the submarine design process
