Marine Structures 1A

The module provides an awareness of structural principles and their application to marine-related problems. 

Topics include static equilibrium of ship hull girder, still water and wave loads on ships; calculation of load effects on ship hull girder, bending and shear stresses in ship hull girder, calculation of cross-sectional properties of ship buckling of columns, truss structures and statistical analysis of stress time series. 

Lectures and pre-class assignments focus on conceptual understanding and tutorials mainly aim at improving problem-solving skills. The assessment consists of group coursework on global structural analysis and written examination covering all subjects of the module.
