Caridis Piero. Local Strength of Ship Structures

CRC Press, 2024. — 789 p. — ISBN 9781032580753.Ship structures can be extremely large, and their structural arrangements are often complex and of a considerable variety. Local Strength of Ship Structures examines the basic aspects of ship structural analysis and design using mathematical tools, with an emphasis on an understanding of the physics of the behaviour of these structures. A fundamental understanding of these concepts is essential to use computer‑based tools effectively. In addition to mathematical models, reference is made to test data that have been obtained over many years and used to gain insight into ship structural behaviour.General Considerations.
