Design of Ship Hull Structures: A Practical Guide for Engineers
暫譯: 船體結構設計：工程師實用指南

在這本書中，五位作者從實務的角度向我們展示了設計船體結構的精華經驗。全書分為三個部分，介紹了船體結構設計的基本原理、理論和應用。這些主題被全面處理，特別強調如何實現可靠且高效的船舶結構。作者特別介紹了他們在船舶尺寸迅速增長以及高專業化船型引入方面的經驗。這些「新」結構早期的失敗案例已被分析，以向讀者說明為何結構設計需要在多個層面上進行，以確保正確的載荷施加並正確理解局部結構行為。在第二版中，作者進行了全面的修訂，反映了自第一版出版以來過去15年技術的新發展，包括先進的直接載荷和結構分析、新的結構設計方法，以及集裝箱船尺寸的迅速增長。

Dr. Yasuhisa Okumoto joined Shipbuilding & Offshore Division, IHI in 1965 and engaged in structural design and production engineering of ships. He moved to Faculty of Engineering, Kinki University in 1992, then moved to JWRI, Osaka University in 2010, and retired in 2017. His research interests include basic and detail design of ship hull structures, computer system of hull design, and intelligent ship production system. He has published many technical reports on structural detail design, design system by a computer, and construction system (i.e. CAD, CAE, CAM, NC, and CIM of ship), as well as automated assembly system, accuracy control system, advanced production/management system. He also has authored many books, including "Shipbuilding Technology & Production System" in Japanese (Seizando Publishing, 2010), and "Ship Production System" (Seizando Publishing, 2024). He was often invited as a speaker or a committee member of domestic or international committee like class NK, SNAJ, ISSC, and TEAM.

Prof. Tetsuo Okada's current position is Professor, Faculty of Engineering, Yokohama National University, Japan. He used to work for Japan Marine United Corporation until 2014 and engaged in structural design and management of many ship and offshore projects, including large post-Panamax container ships, LNG carriers, FSO/FPSO's and FLNG's. His current research field ranges from rational structural design methodologies, whipping responses and ultimate strength of large container ships, to hull condition monitoring and structural digital twin. He has served as a member or a chairman for many committees and conferences, including chair of the 14th international symposium on practical design of ships and other floating structures (PRADS 2019), and chair of the Committee V.3 "Materials and Fabrication Technology" for ISSC 2009.

Dr. Yu Takeda joined IHI in 1981 and engaged in structural design and research of various kinds of ships and offshore structures in the company's shipbuilding & offshore division and research institute. He was an authority on vibration problems both in theory and practice, as well as structural design and analysis, and has solved many vibration problems. He has served on various international committees and conferences, such as ISSC and TEAM. He passed away in 2008.

Dr. Masaki Mano worked for shipbuilding & offshore division and research institute, IHI between 1952 and 1986, and then served as a professor, Faculty of Engineering, Kinki University between 1987 and 1999. He also served as an invited professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in 1976 and 1982, and at the University of São Paulo in 1978. He is a professor emeritus at Far Eastern Federal University (Vladivostok), and Technical University of Varna (Bulgaria).

Dr. Masanobu Toyoda joined IHI in 1996 and subsequently worked at IHIMU and JMU, where he was responsible for the structural design of various types of ships and marine structures. During this period, he led various research and development projects, earning numerous awards for his contributions. He also served as a member of the ISSC2015 and ISSC2018 IV.2 Design Method committee. Currently, he serves as a manager in the department handling big data for ship operations.

博士大隈康久於1965年加入IHI的造船與海洋部門，從事船舶的結構設計和生產工程。1992年，他轉至近畿大學工程學院，2010年再轉至大阪大學JWRI，並於2017年退休。他的研究興趣包括船體結構的基本與詳細設計、船體設計的計算機系統，以及智能船舶生產系統。他發表了許多有關結構詳細設計、計算機設計系統和建造系統（即船舶的CAD、CAE、CAM、NC和CIM）以及自動化組裝系統、精度控制系統、高級生產/管理系統的技術報告。他還著有多本書籍，包括《造船技術與生產系統》（日本清水堂出版，2010年）和《船舶生產系統》（清水堂出版，2024年）。他經常受邀擔任國內外委員會的演講者或委員，如NK級、SNAJ、ISSC和TEAM等。

岡田哲夫教授目前擔任日本橫濱國立大學工程學院教授。他曾在日本海洋聯合公司工作至2014年，參與多個船舶和海洋項目的結構設計和管理，包括大型後巴拿馬型集裝箱船、LNG運輸船、FSO/FPSO和FLNG等。他目前的研究領域涵蓋合理的結構設計方法、大型集裝箱船的擺動反應和極限強度，以及船體狀況監測和結構數位雙胞胎。他曾擔任多個委員會和會議的成員或主席，包括第14屆國際船舶及其他浮動結構實用設計研討會（PRADS 2019）主席，以及ISSC 2009的V.3「材料與製造技術」委員會主席。

武田裕博士於1981年加入IHI，從事公司造船與海洋部門及研究所各類船舶和海洋結構的結構設計和研究。他在振動問題的理論和實踐方面是權威，並在結構設計和分析方面解決了許多振動問題。他曾參加各種國際委員會和會議，如ISSC和TEAM。他於2008年去世。

真野正樹博士於1952年至1986年在IHI的造船與海洋部門及研究所工作，隨後於1987年至1999年擔任近畿大學工程學院教授。他於1976年和1982年擔任里約熱內盧聯邦大學的邀請教授，並於1978年擔任聖保羅大學的邀請教授。他是遠東聯邦大學（海參崴）和保加利亞瓦爾納技術大學的名譽教授。
