Textbook in PDF format

The Principles of Naval Architecture Series.
In this new edition of PNA, the principles of intact stability in calm water are developed starting from initial stability at small angles of heel then proceeding to large angles. Various effects on the stability are discussed such as changes in hull geometry, changes in weight distribution, suspended weights, partial support due to grounding or drydocking, and free liquid surfaces in tanks or other internal spaces. The concept of dynamic stability is introduced starting from the ship’s response to an impulsive heeling moment. The effects of waves on resistance to capsize are discussed noting that, in some cases, the wave effect may result in diminished stability and dangerous dynamic effects.
