CODE 66289 ACADEMIC YEAR 2018/2019 CREDITS 6 cfu anno 2 YACHT DESIGN 9268 (LM-34) - LA SPEZIA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR ING-IND/02 LANGUAGE English TEACHING LOCATION LA SPEZIA SEMESTER 1° Semester MODULES Questo insegnamento è un modulo di: SHIP STRUCTURES AND PLANTS TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB OVERVIEW The course regards the Finite Element Method for solving linear static mechanical problems related with boat structures. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The unit will supply students with finite element basic theoretical concepts then a multipurpose and a shipstructure dedicated FEM codes will be used to solve generic structural problems . The unit includes exercises regarding practical applications. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES At the end of the course the students will: have a basic knowledge of the finite element method for structural design be able to choose the right FEM elements to simulate the boat structures be able to implement their own FEM code starting from theory be able to derive the stiffness matrix of the main 1D and 2D elements be able to use a widely used commercial software to study simple structures in the linear elastic domain. TEACHING METHODS Theoretical Lectures and computer exercises. The computer exercises will be divided in a two parts: a first part during which students will develop their own finite element code and a second part during which students will familiarise with a commercial software.

Three calls are foreseen in the summer session (June, July and September) and in two in the winter session (January, February) The written part foresees the design or the verification of a typical structure usign the finite element method and the verification of a structure usign a FEM commercial code. The oral part will focus on the written exam discussion, on the discussion of the exercises developed during the course and on the whole course contents. ASSESSMENT METHODS The candidates must enroll at least three days before the exam data on the informatic system. the results for the written part will be published on the AUlaweb portal together with the oral date. No enrolment is needed for the oral part.
