OVERVIEW

The course is focused on the analysis of ship structures in terms of stresses generated by local actions

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course provides the specific knowledge for the identification and evaluation of the loads on the hull structure and the realization of a homogeneous structural scheme able to withstand these loads and compatible with the constraints imposed by the hull and the shape and distribution of functional spaces .

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of the course the student will be able to identify and quantify both static and dynamic loads acting on tpleasure crafts. He will be able to apply the loads to suitable structural models to perform the scantling of the main ship structures both with a direct approach and using some regulations of the classification societies or the ISO standards.

PREREQUISITES

Contents of the courses: geometria dei galleggianti, costruzioni navali A e scienza delle costruzioni

TEACHING METHODS

Lectures and computer exercises under the supervision of the teachers for a total of 52 hours. During and lectures the topics will be dealt with in a theoretical way by deepening the logical steps that lead to structural modeling while in the exercises the concepts explained during the theoretical lessons will be applied on real cases.

EXAMS

EXAM DESCRIPTION

The exam consists of a direct scantling exercise followed by theoretical questions and the discussion of the reports on the exercises carried out during the year.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The student must be able to demonstrate knowledge of the basic concepts that lead to the scanlting of ship structures under the action of local loads both by carrying out scanlting exercises with direct methods and by explaining the hypotheses, models and approximations of the method adopted.

The written part, lasting 15 minutes, focuses on the direct scantling of three structural elements and acts as a barrier. With at least two correct numerical results out of three, the student is admitted to the oral exam. The oral exam covers all the topics of the course and the exercises carried out during the year.
