Ship Hydrostatics and Stability is a complete guide to understanding ship hydrostatics in ship design and ship performance, taking you from first principles through basic and applied theory to contemporary mathematical techniques for hydrostatic modeling and analysis. Real life examples of the practical application of hydrostatics are used to explain the theory and calculations using MATLAB and Excel.

The new edition of this established resource takes in recent developments in naval architecture, such as parametric roll, the effects of non-linear motions on stability and the influence of ship lines, along with new international stability regulations. Extensive reference to computational techniques is made throughout and downloadable MATLAB files accompany the book to support your own hydrostatic and stability calculations.

The book also includes definitions and indexes in French, German, Italian and Spanish to make the material as accessible as possible for international readers.

Rubén López-Pulido is a member of the UK's Royal Institution of Naval Architects and the Spanish Association of Naval Architects. Former maritime attaché of the Embassy of Spain in London and representative of Spain to the International Maritime Organization of the UN. He was a naval architect and software engineer at SENER working on the development of the naval architecture modules of the FORAN system, a CAD/CAM/CAE software for ship design and shipbuilding. He was a hydrodynamicist and stability of ships researcher at the CEHINAV (ETSIN-UPM) Madrid Ship Model Basin. In 2010, he received the Spanish National Outstanding Career Award for naval architects under 35 years of age to recognize his outstanding professional service and contributions to the maritime and shipping business, naval architecture, and marine engineering community.
