Book Description
Excerpt from Stability and Equilibrium of Floating Bodies The present treatise is an attempt to set forth briefly the principles underlying the stability and equilibrium of bodies floating partially or wholly submerged in water, and in air. Hitherto published matter bearing on stability has for the most part- been confined to ship forms. Submarines and aerial machines claim a more recent development, and problems relating to the stability and equilibrium of these bodies may be said to be still under investigation. It is necessary now to approach the subject in a more liberal manner, treating the bodies as subject to active as well as passive forces, and to call into requisition the principles of fluid pressure - whether liquid or gaseous - in their action upon bodies at rest and in motion. A knowledge of the salient features of rigid dynamics and hydromechanics is required in order to enable the reader to take a comprehensive view of the subject under discussion. In the introductory chapter the author has endeavoured to set out the essential points bearing upon this phase of the subject, and in Chapter I. discusses generally definitions, the nature and conditions of equilibrium, and the important formulae, in order to enable the reader to pursue without interruption the chapters dealing with specific types of body, which follow. Chapter II. treats of the stability of ships, and an endeavour has been made to render the matter comprehensive without touching upon the historical side of the subject; those readers desirous of pursuing to the end the history and development of stability as applied to ships are referred to Sir E. J. Reed's classic work. The consideration of floating docks is included in Chapter IV., and, so far as the author is aware, has not been dealt with hitherto in any published work.

Book Description
Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Book Description
The study of infinitely long cylinders of constant cross-section floating in an infinite fluid bath in zero-gravity environments has primarily been focused on bodies whose cross-sections are strictly convex and sufficiently smooth. In this thesis, our efforts are concentrated on the consideration of bodies that are only convex and piecewise smooth. These types of bodies are seldom considered in current literature. We have worked with a series expansion of the energy function in order to determine when configurations of a given body will be in equilibrium, stable or otherwise. We have proven that any convex body with a straight side cannot float in a stable equilibrium with the fluid interface intersecting the interior of the straight side in a single point. This fact is then used to prove necessary and sufficient conditions for stable equilibrium of polygons, bodies whose cross-sections are comprised of only straight sides. We illustrate these conditions with several examples. In the latter portion of the thesis, we turn our attention to bodies in three dimensions. While past research has again been focused on strictly convex bodies, we began to consider bodies that do not meet these requirements by examining bodies of revolution. A condition for stability with respect to vertical variations of bodies of revolution is derived. We conclude with several examples of bodies of revolution, some of which interestingly relate back to an analogous two-dimensional shape.
