Course content
The course introduces how the first principles of mechanics are applied to the ship structural design. After the course, the student knows 1) function of ship structure, 2) ship construction method, 3) structural design principles, 4) strength analysis of ship hull, and 5) limit state analysis in ship structural design.The course applies a modified problem-based learning concept, in where the teaching events are aligned to students ship structural design work. This work is composed systematically with the help of weekly assignments. Therefore, all students’ participation in the first lectures is compulsory in order to agree efficient and smooth working methods for each participant. If you cannot participate in the first lecture due to some urgent reason, please contact the teacher-in-charge.Course organization
