Creating shapes in civil and naval architecture : : a cross-disciplinary comparison / / editors, Horst Nowacki, Wolfgang Lefèvre.
The design, construction and verification of complex two- and three-dimensional shapes in architecture and ship geometry have always been a particularly demanding part of the art of engineering. Before science-based structural design and analysis were applied in the construction industries, id est,...
