Aim: To enable the students to understand and to use modern rational methods within hydrodynamics, strength of materials and reliability theory to design marine structures, such as ships and oil drilling rigs.
To give the students the opportunity to work with open problems with many possible solutions with the aim to strength the ability to act rationally and actively in a complicated design process.
To enable to student to do a quality assurance of an engineering project.
To strength the ability to cooperate and to communicate in a project group. |
Contents: The main part of the course is devoted to a project aiming at determination of the wave loads and global response of a ship or and offshore drilling rig. It includes methods dealing with hydrostatic loads, stochastic wave theory, hydrodynamic loads, extreme loads, global response analysis, ultimate strength and, safety assessments (including the partial safety factor method, probability of failure, and safety indices).
In addition to the main project also a number of smaller problems are given in order to illustrate the theories presented. |
| Remarks: The students have the possibility to continue working on a ship project initiated in the course 41271 Ship Design. |
