Fundamentals of Port Engineering

Fundamentals of Port Engineering

Port engineering primarily deals with the design construction operation management and maintenance of ports overlapping with many other disciplines. This book provides an introductory text to prospective (graduate) port engineers and presents a wide variety of port subjects for practicing engineers. It covers almost all topics related to port engineering in a fundamental way including dredging marine aids to navigation environmental issues containers liquid bulk dry bulk general cargo multipurpose roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) fishing and ferry terminals. Discussions are targeted at a conceptual design level. Other features: Aspects of port engineering are discussed including shipping maritime trade environmental aspects (such as climate change) resilience of ports nature-based solutions and port management (such as security equipment slurry pumping and so forth) Illustrates the design of port terminals Discusses site selection for a new port the factors to be considered and ways to compare different potential port sites Explores asset management and repair of marine structures Includes case studies from around the world examples and practical and user-friendly guidelines | Fundamentals of Port Engineering

Growth and Decay of Coral Reefs Fifty Years of Learning

Growth and Decay of Coral Reefs Fifty Years of Learning

Growth and Decay of Coral Reefs: Fifty Years of Learning describes how coral reefs have alternately flourished and declined over the last 50 years and the dynamics of these changes. The study is based on recordings at 30 different locations along the Sudanese coast visited by the author between 1971 and 1973. Beyond the Red Sea's desert shores lie some of the richest and most diverse coral reefs on our planet. Over a thousand species of reef fishes matched by a similar abundance of living corals creating habitats scientists were only just beginning to understand. The complexity of the inter-relations was truly mesmerizing. A single intervention such as removal of a key species could cause the whole community to collapse. Healthy corals were transformed into green weed-smothered reefs accompanied by the loss of both corals and fish. Based on the author’s observations of how knowledge and perspectives have changed over the last 50 years this book highlights lessons learned from historical records that may help maintain and reestablish coral reefs in the years to come. Topics covered include: CORAL REEF FISH Fish surveys CORAL REEF PROFILES Coral growth rates Coral distribution Corals on 'Cousteau garage' CORAL THREATS Climate change Coral bleaching Coral diseases Coral sponges Terpios hoshinota Coral predators Coral urchins CORAL – ALGAE CORAL RESEARCH and more . | Growth and Decay of Coral Reefs Fifty Years of Learning

Shipboard Propulsion Power Electronics and Ocean Energy

Shipboard Propulsion Power Electronics and Ocean Energy

Shipboard Propulsion Power Electronics and Ocean Energy fills the need for a comprehensive book that covers modern shipboard propulsion and the power electronics and ocean energy technologies that drive it. With a breadth and depth not found in other books it examines the power electronics systems for ship propulsion and for extracting ocean energy which are mirror images of each other. Comprised of sixteen chapters the book is divided into four parts: Power Electronics and Motor Drives explains basic power electronics converters and variable-frequency drives cooling methods and quality of power Electric Propulsion Technologies focuses on the electric propulsion of ships using recently developed permanent magnet and superconducting motors as well as hybrid propulsion using fuel cell photovoltaic and wind power Renewable Ocean Energy Technologies explores renewable ocean energy from waves marine currents and offshore wind farms System Integration Aspects discusses two aspects—energy storage and system reliability—that are essential for any large-scale power system This timely book evolved from the author’s 30 years of work experience at General Electric Lockheed Martin and Westinghouse Electric and 15 years of teaching at the U. S. Merchant Marine Academy. As a textbook it is ideal for an elective course at marine and naval academies with engineering programs. It is also a valuable reference for commercial and military shipbuilders port operators renewable ocean energy developers classification societies machinery and equipment manufacturers researchers and others interested in modern shipboard power and propulsion systems. The information provided herein does not necessarily represent the view of the U. S. Merchant Marine Academy or the U. S. Department of Transportation. This book is a companion to Shipboard Electrical Power Systems (CRC Press 2011) by the same author.

An Introduction to Sonar Systems Engineering

An Introduction to Sonar Systems Engineering

An Introduction to Sonar Systems Engineering Second Edition Important topics that are fundamental to the understanding of modern-day sonar systems engineering are featured. Linear planar and volume array theory including near-field and far-field beam patterns beam steering and array focusing are covered. Real-world arrays such as the twin-line planar array and a linear array of triplets which are solutions to the port/starboard (left/right) ambiguity problem associated with linear towed arrays are examined in detail. Detailed explanations of the fundamentals of side-looking (side-scan) and synthetic-aperture sonars are presented. Bistatic scattering with moving platforms is explored with derivations of exact solutions for the time delay time-compression/time-expansion factor and Doppler shift at a receiver for both the scattered and direct acoustic paths. Time-domain and frequency-domain descriptions and the design of CW LFM and Doppler-invariant HFM pulses are explained. Target detection in the presence of reverberation and noise is examined. Time-domain and frequency-domain descriptions of MFSK MQAM and OFDM underwater acoustic communication signals are also discussed. Although the book is mathematically rigorous it is written in a tutorial style. Many useful practical design and analysis equations for both passive and active sonar systems are derived from first principles. No major steps in the derivation of important results are skipped – all assumptions and approximations are clearly stated. Particular attention is paid to the correct units for functions and parameters. Many figures tables examples and practical homework problems at the end of each chapter are included to aid in the understanding of the material covered. New to the Second Edition Chapter 15 Synthetic-Aperture Sonar Chapter 13 Section 13. 3 The Rectangular-Envelope HFM Pulse Chapter 10 Section 10. 7 Moving Platforms was rewritten which allowed for the elimination of Appendix 10C from the first edition New explanations/discussions were added to Subsections 1. 2. 1 and 1. 3. 1 in Chapter 1 Appendix 1A was rewritten and the new Table 1A-1 was added to Chapter 1 A solutions manual is available for adopting professors
