Creating shapes in civil and naval architecture : a cross-disciplinary comparison /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

The design, construction and fabrication of complex two- and three-dimensional shapes in civil and naval architecture have always been a particularly demanding part of the art of engineering. This volume presents a comparative knowledge history in these two distinct branches of construction engineer...
