SAVE TIME AND MONEY WITH THIS STATE-OF-THE-ART GUIDE TO THE LATEST, MOST ADVANCED DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUESEd Sherman is one of America’s great teachers and communicators of marine technology.”--Tim Murphy, Executive Editor, Cruising World

Whether you are a marine electronics professional or a boatowner, Advanced Marine Electrics and Electronics Troubleshooting helps you understand the new, more powerful methods of troubleshooting marine electrical and electronic systems. A modern boat’s sophisticated installations and networked electronics can stretch the traditional diagnostic methods based on trouble lights and multimeters past their useful limits. This book will show you how to:

* Use microprocessor-based diagnostic tools and techniques from the automotive and communications sectors, adapted for boats for the first time
* Diagnose the most difficult AC and DC problems
* Protect communications and navigation electronics from interference and lightning
* Seek out and eliminate stray-current sources and galvanic corrosion

High Resolution Site Surveys

High Resolution Site Surveys By R. Parkinson

Publisher Spon Press | ISBN: 0415244072 | edition 2001 | PDF | 256 pages | 3,19 mb

Brings together the full range of seismic and hydrographic site survey techniques, to provide a unified approach to marine high resolution surveying for the first time since the 1970s.
Detailed descriptions are given of high resolution digital seismic survey methods with special reference to "Bright Spot" analysis and the detection of shallow drilling hazards, particularly shallow gas. Hydrographic "analog" search and survey tools are evaluated. These include echosounders, sidescan sonars, swathe bathymetry, autonomous underwater vehicle, pingers, boomers, and multi-electrode sparkers.
Well illustrated, with numerous practical examples showing the application of theory in everyday situations, the book is an indispensable guide for practitioners and students alike.

Emergency Navigation: Find Your Position and Shape Your Course at Sea Even If Your Instruments Fail, 2nd Edition

David Burch, "Emergency Navigation: Find Your Position and Shape Your Course at Sea Even If Your Instruments Fail, 2nd Edition"
International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press | 2008-06-20 | ISBN: 0071481842 | 288 pages | PDF | 5,5 MB

Every sailor knows that instruments can fail. Things get wet, break, fall overboard. Whether you’re safe on your boat or drifting in a life raft, let David Burch show you how to find your way no matter what navigational equipment you have. Often relying on common materials like a small stick, a plastic bottle, even a pair of sunglasses, Burch explains how to make use of all available means--from the ancient skills of Polynesian navigators to the contrails of airliners overhead--to calculate speed, direction, latitude, and longitude and to perform all aspects of piloting and dead reckoning. Learn how to

* Steer by sun, stars, wind, and swells
* Estimate current and leeway
* Improvise your own knotmeter or plumb-bob sextant
* Find the sun in a fogbank
* Estimate latitude with a plate and a knotted string
* And more vital information

Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review Volume 42 (Oceanography and Marine Biology)

Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review Volume 42 (Oceanography and Marine Biology)
By R. N. Gibson, R. J. A. Atkinson, J. D. M. Gordon 
Publisher CRC | ISBN: 084932727X | edition 2004 | PDF | 440 pages | 9,86 Mb

Ever-increasing interest in oceanography and marine biology and its relevance to global environmental issues creates a demand for authoritative reviews summarizing the results of recent research. Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review has answered this demand since its founding by the late Harold Barnes more than forty years ago. Its objective is an annual consideration of basic areas of marine research, dealing with subjects of special or immediate importance, adding new subjects as they arise.

Introduction to Naval Architecture: Formerly Muckle's Naval Architecture for Marine Engineers (4 Ed.)

E. C. Tupper “Introduction to Naval Architecture: Formerly Muckle's Naval Architecture for Marine Engineers (4 Ed.)"
Butterworth-Heinemann | 2004-12-21 | ISBN: 0750665548 | 464 pages | PDF | 10,6 MB

The fundamental characteristics of a ship's design, and how they affect its behaviour at sea are of crucial importance to many people involved in the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of all marine vessels. Naval architects and those working in ship design need to understand these principles in depth. Marine engineers must likewise recognise the degree to which their activities are influenced and bounded by these principles. Finally, senior crew - both Ship's Engineers and Commanders - need an understanding of the principles of naval architecture in order to properly fulfil their duties. This book offers a clear and concise introduction to the subject and is of great value to both students and practising professionals in all of the above fields.
* Covers introductory level courses in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering
* Updated to cover key developments including double-hulled tankers
* Fully revised fourth edition accompanied by exercises and worked solutions for the first time

Ship Design and Performance for Masters and Mates

Bryan Barrass, "Ship Design and Performance for Masters and Mates"
Butterworth-Heinemann | 2004-09-03 | ISBN: 0750660007 | 264 pages | PDF | 1,3 MB

Students, professional trainees and marine engineers studying for their certificates of competency, as well as more experienced marine engineers on shore or at sea, will all welcome this quick to use, comprehensive reference that brings the key information needed to understand ship design and performance to their fingertips in one handy volume. The book does not assume detailed theoretical knowledge, but rather builds up the reader's understanding of how the elements of ship design influence and impact on its performance, and how the engineer, crew and operators can maximise the performance of their vessel in operation.
For non-specialist vocational-level students (British NVQs, Certificates of Competency, plus other international Maritime Licences, such as the MMD in the US), Basic Elements of Ship Design and Performance is an accessible, single source of guidance. It presents key facts, backed up throughout by relevant theory, illustrations and photographs, and also includes valuable with key engineering data, facts and formulas, plus revision one-liners.
Written by an experienced marine engineering consultant, author and lecturer, this essential introduction and reference for students and those newly at sea will appeal to anyone involved with ship design, marine engineering, naval architecture, as well as those engaged in the day-to-day operation of ships in port.
* Accessible information on understanding and improving ship performance at your fingertips
* Ideal for marine engineering students and those studying for certificates of competency
* Covers all key aspects of ship design and performance, with exam revision one-liners

Marine Structural Design

Yong Bai," Marine Structural Design "
Ensevier | 2003 | ISBN : 0080439217 | PDF | 632 pages | 14.1 MB

This book is intended for marine structural engineers and naval architects, as well as mechanical engineers and civil engineers who work on structural design. As reliability-based limit-state design becomes popular in structural engineering, this book may also be a reference for structural engineers in other disciplines, such as buildings, bridges and spacecraft. The design procedures in the book make extensive use of finite-element analysis and dynamic/fatigue analysis, and applied risk and reliability methods.
