Marine Structures 1B

The module is a continuation of MNO2105 - Marine Structures IA and focusses on analysis and design of structural members in the ship and in offshore structures, ship hull girder vibration and marine composite materials. 

Topics include determinate and indeterminate beams, two-dimensional stress and strain analysis, strain measurement, sources of hull girder vibration, calculation of hull girder natural frequencies and vibration amplitudes and finally applications of composite materials in marine structures. 

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 design, make and test of a truss crane and written examination covering all subjects of the module.
