This book covers the principal topics in applied mechanics for
professional trainees studying Merchant Navy Marine Engineering
Certificates of Competency (CoC) as well as the core syllabi in applied
mechanics for undergraduates studying for BSc, BEng and MEng degrees in
marine engineering, naval architecture and other marine technology
related programmes.
This new edition has been fully updated to reflect the recent changes to
the Merchant Navy syllabus and current pathways to a sea-going
engineering career, specifically the increased emphasis that has been
placed on colleges and universities now responsible for the academic
requirements for those studying for a career in marine engineering. In
particular this means the book has been updated to include more
information about the general principles and applications of the
exercises in the practical world of marine engineering.
Each chapter has fully worked examples interwoven into the text, with
test examples set at the end of each chapter. Other revisions include
examples reflecting modern machines and practice, current legislation
and current syllabi.
