Lectures

Goal

The objective of the course is to enable students to understand and create projects related to the longitudinal strength of ships. Additionally, students should be equipped to understand and analyze the problem of a ship's ultimate strength. Students need to understand, identify differences and requirements, as well as to be capable of designing the structure of various types of ships (general cargo ships, container ships, bulk carriers, and others).

Outcome

1. Students will be capable of applying comprehensive knowledge from fundamental natural, technical sciences (notably: strength of materials, strength of structures, engineering materials) and engineering principles to solving and analyzing global ship strength problems (longitudinal, ultimate, structural). 2. Students will be capable, based on the use of fundamentals of natural sciences and engineering principles, to formulate and set fundamental problems of global ship strength (longitudinal, ultimate, structural), to reach relevant conclusions, keeping in mind the limitations of the methods and the incompleteness of data. 3. Students will be able to select and apply analytical and computational methods to model fundamental problems of global ship strength (longitudinal, ultimate), considering the limitations of these methods. 4. Students will be capable of independently finding and critically using technical regulations (rules and regulations of classification societies and national registers, as well as other regulatory bodies), literature (papers, studies), and other sources of information (data obtained from shipowners, design offices, shipyards, estimated data, etc.) to solve fundamental problems of global ship strength (longitudinal, ultimate, structural). 5. Students will know how to apply a systematic approach in solving complex problems of global ship strength and ship structures. 6. Students will know how to select and apply appropriate materials, consider shipbuilding technologies and processes, and their limitations. 7. Students will be capable of communicating complex engineering issues in the context of global ship strength (longitudinal, ultimate, structural) with both technical and non-technical audiences, evaluating the effectiveness of the methods used.

Theoretical teaching

Students are introduced to the concept of global ship strength through explanations of the ship's longitudinal strength and ultimate strength, including both global and local loads acting on the ship's hull (static and dynamic). Additionally, the specificities of constructions for different types of ships (general cargo ships, container ships, bulk carriers, and others) are explained.

Practical teaching

Students are thoroughly introduced to the project of longitudinal strength of a ship. They then independently conduct direct calculations of the longitudinal strength of a specific ship, considering all relevant loads (static and dynamic), while using the rules and regulations of classification societies. Additionally, students are introduced in more detail (compared to the theoretical part of the course) to the methods of calculating the ultimate strength of a ship.
