Ship Design For Efficiency and Economy-4-6

This document provides a contents list for a book on ship design. The book is divided into 6 chapters that cover topics such as ship dimensions, lines design, optimization methods, propulsion arrangements, weight calculations, and ship propulsion. It assumes basic knowledge of ship design topics. The preface notes that the book is intended to support ship design lectures and serve as a reference for ship designers. It was updated from a previous edition by reorganizing weight estimation material and adding a chapter on power prognosis. Feedback from readers is welcomed to improve the book in future editions.

Preface

This book, like its predecessors, is based on Schneekluth’s lectures at the


Aachen University of Technology. The book is intended to support lectures on
ship design, but also to serve as a reference book for ship designers throughout
their careers. The book assumes basic knowledge of line drawing and conven-
tional design, hydrostatics and hydrodynamics. The previous edition has been
modernized, reorganizing the material on weight estimation and adding a
chapter on power prognosis. Some outdated material or material of secondary
relevance to ship design has been omitted.
The bibliography is still predominantly German for two reasons:
ž German literature is not well-known internationally and we would like to
introduce some of the good work of our compatriots.
ž Due to their limited availability, many German works may provide infor-
mation which is new to the international community.
Many colleagues have supported this work either by supplying data,
references, and programs, or by proofreading and discussing. We are in
this respect grateful to Walter Abicht, Werner Blendermann, Jürgen Isensee,
Frank Josten, Hans-Jörg Petershagen, Heinrich Söding, Mark Wobig (all
TU Hamburg-Harburg), Norbert von der Stein (Schneekluth Hydrodynamik),
Thorsten Grenz (Hapag-Lloyd, Hamburg), Uwe Hollenbach (Ship Design &
Consult, Hamburg), and Gerhard Jensen (HSVA, Hamburg).
Despite all our efforts to avoid mistakes in formulas and statements, readers
may still come across points that they would like to see corrected in the next
edition, sometimes simply because of new developments in technology and
changes to regulations. In such cases, we would appreciate readers contacting
us with their suggestions.
This book is dedicated to Professor Dr.-Ing. Kurt Wendel in great admiration
of his innumerable contributions to the field of ship design in Germany.

H. Schneekluth and V. Bertram
