A History of SNAME
hen SNAME was started in 1893, private shipbuilding was at a low level; naval shipbuilding
was beginning to stir; steel was fighting for acceptance as a material for ship hulls; and welding,
refrigeration, electronics and high pressure steam were all still over the horizon. Yet in 1893 there
were already flourishing abroad several professional marine-oriented societies which were providing their
members with vital service and with the means of self-expression. Marine professionals in the United States
wanted similar satisfaction, and with men like William H. Webb, Francis T. Bowles, David W. Taylor and
Clement Griscom to lead the way, our Society came into being that year. The Articles of Incorporation were
signed on April 28, 1893.
The objectives, adopted in 1893 and restated in 1988, are detailed in the Society Bylaws, but very briefly
stated they are: to advance the state of the art; to afford facilities for the exchange of information and ideas; to
disseminate the results of research, experience and information among the members; to encourage and sponsor
such research; to cooperate with educational institutions; and to promote the professional integrity and status
of the members.
The progress of the Society from 1893 to November 1941, when its first Section was organized in Philadelphia,
was steady and solid. Membership had risen to just over 2,000; several graduate scholarships had been awarded;
ad hoc committees had carried out special technical investigations; and the textbooks Principles of Naval
Architecture and Marine Engineering had been published. Technical progress over that same period saw the
adoption of welding in ship construction, the use of oil as fuel, and the introduction of diesel engines and steam
turbines for ship propulsion.
The period from the end of World War II to the present has seen the biggest growth of the Society. Membership
has increased from 2,000 to currently about 7,000. SNAME has eighteen Sections, the latest being the Italian
Section, established in 2014. The Societys two technical journals were established and several more text and
reference books were published, three of which have been extensively updated. Prizes and awards were created
and a Technical and Research program of unusual scope and quality for a technical society emerged.
The post-war period also saw the introduction of nuclear power, gas turbines, large diesel engines,
containerization and offshore drilling. Innovations such as surface effect ships, barge-carrying ships, vessels for
the transport of liquefied natural gas and chemicals, and many other technological advances in ship design, ship
construction, hydrodynamics and computer applications and the start of mans concern with inner space. The
sea arose during this period. The standards and objectives laid down by our founders in 1893 have stood the
test of time. They have provided the firm foundation upon which this Society is based and respected worldwide.
Mission Statement
NAME is an internationally recognized nonprofit technical society of individual members serving the
maritime industry. SNAME is dedicated to advancing the art, science, and practice of naval architecture,
shipbuilding, ocean engineering, and marine engineering.

he Principles of Naval Architecture series is the defining reference work and text for naval
architecture. This volume contains a completely new presentation of the subject of ship resistance
embodying these developments. A major goal in the design of virtually all vessels is to obtain a hull
form having low resistance. In achieving this goal, the accurate prediction of resistance for a given
hull geometry is essential. Since the publication of the previous edition of PNA important advances
have been made in theoretical and computational fluid dynamics accompanied by increased use of
such work in ship and offshore structure design.

his book presents a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of propeller analysis and design,
including an introduction to various types of marine propulsion machinery, definitions of
powers and efficiencies, and two and three dimensional airfoil theory. A section on three-dimensional
hydrofoil theory introduces wake vortex sheets and three-dimensional vortex lines. These discussion
topics are followed by linear lifting line and lifting surface theory with both exact and approximate
solution methodsincluding properties of helicoidal vortex sheets, optimum and arbitrary
circulation distributions, and the Lerbs induction factor method. There are sections on model testing
of propellers and propeller strength, followed by selection and design using both standard series
charts and circulation theory. The final section discusses ship standardization trials, their purpose,
measurement methods and instruments, concluding with the analysis of trial data and derivation of
the model-ship correlation allowance.
Vibration
by William S. Vorus
(PNA-VIB) 2010. 62 pages, 1 lbs., softcover
ISBN 978-0-939773-75-6
his volume of the series presents the principles underlying analysis of the vibration
characteristics of modern seagoing ships and the application of those principles in design
and problem solving. The classical continuous beam model with steady state response to periodic
excitation is presented first. This includes natural frequencies, mode shapes and modal expansion.
Discrete analysis is next presented based upon finite element principles. Examples are discussed
involving analysis of the entire ship and component parts, e.g., the deckhouse. The principal sources
of excitation are usually the propulsion machinery and the propeller, and methods of predicting the
forces and moments produced by each are presented. There is a brief introduction to underwater
acoustic radiation and sound as it is related to propeller effects.

by Alaa Mansour and Don Liu
(PNA-SOS) 2008, 226 pages, 3 lbs., softcover

ISBN 978-0-939773-66-4
his new revised volume addresses several topics of ship strength in greater depth than in the
previous edition of PNA, bringing much of the material up to date and introducing some new
subjects. There is extensive coverage of the latest developments in dynamic sea load predictions,
including nonlinear load effects, slamming and impact, plus new sections on the mechanics of collisions
and grounding. The incorporation of the various loadings in structural design and analysis is covered,
including long term extreme and cumulative fatigue effects. There is a more extensive treatment
of strength analysis using finite element methods than was included in the previous edition. Ultimate
strength evaluation of the hull girder and components is covered and there is a section on structural
safety assessment applying reliability concepts including fatigue effects.
Intact Stability
by Colin S. Moore
(PNA-IS) 2009, 82 pages, 2 lbs., softcover
ISBN 978-0-939773-74-0
ritten by Dr. Colin S. Moore, Manager, Advanced Analysis and Salvage Engineering at Herbert
Engineering Corp. and a member of SNAMEs ad hoc committees on Double Hull Intact
Stability and Parametric Rolling, this new volume in the PNA series discusses various effects on
stability, 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 ships 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.
Geometry of Ships
by John Letcher
(PNA-GOS) 2009, 58 pages, 1 lb., softcover
ISBN 978-0-939773-67-1
lthough there are still practitioners of the traditional art of manual fairing of ship lines, the
geometry of most hull forms ranging from small yachts to the largest commercial and naval ships
is now almost invariably developed using one of the commercially available hull modeling software
packages. Such software normally includes, in addition to the hull modeling and display functions,
routines for the computation of hydrostatics, stability and other hull properties. It may form a part
of a comprehensive computer-based design and manufacturing system or it may be included in a
shipboard computer-based operational system used for cargo load monitoring and damage control.
This volume presents first the theoretical basis for these hull modeling systems and second the
procedures for computing hull geometric, buoyancy and other properties by mathematical methods
utilizing such models.

Stability and Safey of Ships

Risk of Capsizing
by V.L. Belenky and N.B. Sevastianov
(SSS) 2007, 445 pages, 3 lbs., softcover
ISBN ISBN 0-939773-61-9
his book deals with the many modern approaches to analyze ship dynamic stability
and capsizing. The emphasis is on probabilistic assessment of ship dynamic
stability. However, in order to evaluate ship dynamic stability and capsizing one must
first formulate the nonlinear ship dynamics problem. This book will do much to raise
the level of understanding of ship dynamic stability research to that of hydrodynamics
and structures, and paves the way to consideration of ship stability safety as one aspect
of the up-and-coming discipline of nonlinear dynamics of ships.

n 1982 the leaders of the National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) recognized the need
for greater focus on shipbuilding education; the result was the establishment of an education panel
(SP-9) within the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers Ship Production Committeethe implementation arm of the NSRP. The first project authorized by the panel was a textbook on
advanced concepts of ship production. This edition was revised in 1995 to update the contents to
be consistent with technological advances made since the books publication in 1988.
The focus of this book is state-of-the-art technology and its application to the principals and
practices of shipbuilding employing group technology. The authors present a system aimed at
optimizing productivity in shipbuilding under current technological conditions. Also included are
chapters devoted to basic manufacturing and construction processes and the design for production
and CAD/CAM applications. The book is suitable for the upper class undergraduate and graduate

Analysis and Design
by Owen F. Hughes and Jeom Kee Paik

(SSAD) 2010, 608 pages, 5 lbs., hardcover
ISBN 978-0-939773-78-3
horough, clear and informative, Ship Structural Design focuses on the most complex aspects of
ship structural designpreliminary design. While concept and detail design are concerned with
overall requirements and standard formats, it is in preliminary designthe sizing of all of the ships
principal structural membersthat the structural designer has the largest number of significant
decisions and options, and the greatest scope for optimizing the design.
The text uses a rationally-based design approach (design from first principles), which is ideally
suited to preliminary structural design. One of the advantages of this approach is that, unlike all
earlier design methods, it applies to all types of ships. Moreover, this approach allows the designer
to achieve an optimum structure, according to his own particular measure of merit, such as least
life-cycle cost, least weight, or any combination of these.

erreiro describes the formulation of the three major elements of ship theory (the science
of explaining the physical behavior of a ship): maneuvering and sail theory, ship
resistance and hydrodynamics, and stability theory. He considers the eras influential books
on naval architecture and describes the professionalization of ship constructors that is the
true legacy of this period. Finally, looking from the viewpoints of both the constructor and
the naval administrator, he explains why the development of ship theory was encouraged,
financed, and used in naval shipbuilding. A generous selection of rarely seen archival

his quarterly publication features highly technical papers on applied research in hydrodynamics,
propulsion, ship motions, structures, and vibrations. While the Journal of Ship Research requires
that papers present the results of research that advances ship and ocean science and engineering, most
contributions bear directly on other disciplines, such as civil and mechanical engineering, applied
mathematics, and numerical analysis. High quality papers are contributed from all over the globe, with
representation from established authorities as well as from new researchers.

riginal and timely technical papers addressing problems of shipyard techniques and production
of merchant and naval ships appear in this quarterly publication. Since its inception, the Journal
of Ship Production and Design (formerly the Journal of Ship Production) has been a forum for peerreviewed, professionally edited papers from academic and industry sources. As such it has influenced
the worldwide development of ship production engineering as a fully qualified professional discipline.
The expanded scope seeks papers in additional areas, specifically ship design, including design for
production, plus other marine technology topics, such as ship operations, shipping economics, and
safety. Each issue contains a well-rounded selection of technical papers relevant to marine professionals.
