Detailed description of topics:

Determination of the scantlings and making the midship section plan of a vessel, using classification rules. Various computer programs can be used, such as:

  • midship section scantlings according Lloyd's Register Rules;
  • various programs for calculation of cross sectional properties such as section modulus and moment of inertia; determination of optimal I-beam dimensions for a required section modulus.

Determination of the still water bending moment (SWBM)
Calculation of stresses in elements of the structure.
Answering some questions about a work drawing.
Summarizing the answers and calculations in a report.
Course material:
  • Lecture notes: mt082P: Manual structural exercise. Available at Sales department WbMT.
  • Lecture notes: mt810P1: Notes on the construction of ships and their elements, parts I and II, Shipbuilding profiles. Available at Sales Department WbMT.
  • Title: Shipbuilding profiles. At small drawing room MT.

Remarks (specific information about assesment, entry requirements, etc.):
  • Examination: The credits obtained will be based upon the drawing of the midship section and the report. The exercise is considered sufficient when the credits obtained are 6 or higher, the exercise is returned to the student and the student has discussed the result with the university staff responsible.
  • Admission: The exercise is open to students that have succesfully followed the course mt800 (Ship Construction MT) and have attended mt083P1 (Introduction exercises CAD).
  • At start of the fourth quintal an instruction will be given for which registration is possible via the bill board.
  • The date of the instruction will be published at the billboards. The exercise must be submitted within six weeks after receipt of the exercise description. If not returned in time, a new (different) exercise will be given to the student.
  • Location: Calculations: small drawing room MT (above towing tank). Drawing (hand): small drawing room oMT (above towing tank), or drawing (CAD): SUN-room 201/202, block II, 2nd floor, (according schedule/appointment).
