76277 Strength of Marine Structures
Danish title: Dimensionering af maritime konstruktioner
Language: English Credit points: 10
Type: Ph.D.-level, Open University
Language: English

Previous course: C7677 + 76478
No credit points with: C7677, C7678
Prerequisite: 76161
Recommended semester: 6th - 8th semester
Scope and form: Lecture modules, exercises and project work.
Examination: Evaluation of report (½) and oral examination (½) (13-scale)
Participant limitation: max. 30

Remarks: The course covers two terms (fall and Januar). The main part of the lectures are given in the fall, with an oral examination at the end of the fall term. In the beginning of the fall term a project work is initiated dealing with strength assessment of a ship. This work is finalised in the Januar term with submission of a written project and subsequent oral defense. In addition an structural analysis of an oil drilling rig is performed.

Aim: To enable the students to use latest rational methods within hydrodynamics, strength of materials and reliability theory to design marine structures, such as ships and oil drilling rigs.
Contents: Part A (14 week period): Hydrostatic loads, stochastic wave theory, hydrodynamic loads on ships, extreme loads, global response analysis and ultimate strength for ships.
Part B (3 week period): Safety assessments of the hull girder, including the partial safety factor method, probability of failure, and safety indices. Wave loads on offshore drilling rigs.
