Product Description:
This expanded and updated edition Thomas Ask's Handbook of Marine Surveying will be welcomed by students of marine surveying, professional marine surveyors, boatyard operators and technically-minded boat owners. It covers the latest marine surveying technology, including analysis of the mechanical behavior of materials, failure analysis, stress concentration, fatigue and fracture, corrosion, wood-damaging organisms, polymer chemistry, and the composition and characteristics of common plastics, metal, alloys and composite materials. There is also a useful survey checklist that provides practical techniques and hints for conducting a survey. Offering sensible advice on the most common as well as more complex problems, the book is suitable not only for professionals but also boat owners and boat buyers. Richly illustrated with b/w photos, diagrams and computer models.
