AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Aim of the course is to analyse the resistance criteria of the different ship structural members. The student, at the end of the course, will be able to design the different structural members to resist to local loads both by direct calculation and by applying rules and requirements from classification societies.

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 the ship. 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 societeis.

TEACHING METHODS

Lectures and computer exercises under the supervision of the teachers for a total of 60 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 sizing of naval structures under the action of local loads both by carrying out sizing exercises with direct methods and by explaining the hypotheses, models and approximations of the method adopted.

The student has to solve a numerical exercise in 15 minutes to access the oral exam.
