This book serves as a comprehensive introduction to naval architecture, revising previous editions to reflect contemporary feedback and advancements in the field. Emphasizing the importance of safety and environmental considerations, the text adopts a user-friendly approach by minimizing complex mathematical explanations and focusing on the practical aspects of ship design. It outlines the fundamental principles that define the purpose and functionality of various marine vessels, particularly merchant ships, and delves into the considerations necessary for effective ship design, from cargo types to engineering constraints.

THEORY OF SHIP DESIGN
Ships are a vital element in the modern world. They still carry some 95 per cent of trade. In 1994 there were more than 80 000 ships each with a gross tonnage of 100 or more, representing a gross tonnage of over450 million in totals. Although aircraft have displaced the transatlantic liners, ships still carry large numbers of people on pleasure cruises and on the multiplicity of ferries operating in all areas of the globe. Ships, and other marine structures, are needed to exploit the riches of the deep. Although one of the oldest forms of transport, ships, their equipment and their function, are subject to constant evolution. Changes are driven by changing patterns of world trade, by social pressures, by technological improvements in materials, construction techniques and control systems, and by pressure of economics. As an example, technology now provides the ability to build much larger, faster, ships and these are adopted to gain the economic advantages those features can confer.
Ship Structures II - Lecture Notes
The course is intended to develop “advanced” knowledge of structures. The particular focus is on various types of structural failure in ships. Many of the topics presented in these lectures are the subject of ongoing research.

THE EXTENSION OF SYSTEM BOUNDARIES IN SHIP DESIGN
International Journal of Marine Engineers, 2010
In this paper we address the challenges arising from the public pressure to curb greenhouse gas emission from shipping. The shipping industry must expect that inefficiencies or sub-optimality in the transport systems will be curbed or punished severely. We present available technology to improve energy efficiency, and argue that decisions to apply such technology in a design process have to consider the vessel in its operational setting. We further discuss how this affects existing or introduces new design parameters. In the new situation, the relationship between a ship and its intended mission cannot be "broken" by a contractual document, such as a requirements specification. A ship designer needs to engage in the use of the ship, moving from being a ship designer to participating directly in a transport system design.In the paper we propose some amendments to existing models, and the framework of design tools, that facilitate this change.

Ship Structures I - Lecture Notes
2018
The course is intended to develop the student’s knowledge of ship structures. The focus is on various types of intact structural behavior, building upon concepts from mechanics of materials and statics. Changes to 2018 edition: • Updated Topic 1 – with ship structural features included • Updated Topic 2 – new discussion of approach to structural design • New Topic 11 – discussion of use of tables and superposition • New beam tables in Appendix 4 • Energy Methods moved to Appendix 7
Context and Cohabitation of Linear and Non-linear Systems in Design
The world of design is enmeshed with discourses concerning the application of linear and non-linear concepts, systems and methods. Both academics and practitioners have debated the values; use and location of both types of approach in design and the density of either type of system can be observed across diverse creative disciplines, sometimes fluctuating according to historical circumstances. Industrial design and engineering have long enjoyed the cohabitation of a problem space composed of a sophisticated mixture of linear and non-linear systems which narrate the breadth of thinking from the innate through to the ultra rationalist approach. The relationship of these systems illustrates the diversity of problem solving that in many ways is mirrored across the whole spectrum of art and design disciplines and maps the range of problem types from the definable through to the meta and the wicked.
