Book excerpt: For a structure as large ans as complex as a ship there are three levels of structural design, the second and most central of which is the subject of this book. Rationally-based design is design from first principles using the tools of modern engineering science: computer and the methods of structural analysis and optimization which computers have made possible. Thus, the rationally-based approach is ideally suited for preliminary structural design, and it is this approach and this level of design that is the subject of this book.
