Detailed description of topics:
Further to the course mt803 failure modes and ultimate strength of the structure are considered. Fatigue, crack propagation and brittle fracture play an important role. These aspects are dealt with both in a fundamental way as using practical standard design procedures. The implications of these aspects for the structural design of ships and their details are taught. The structural design can be made in a deterministic as well as probabilistic way. Attention is given to measurements at sea and hull monitoring. Characteristics of the main structural material for ships, i.e. steel, are described and the methods to influence them. Fabrication methods (in particular welding) have a major impact on material properties and consequently the safety of the structure.

Remarks (specific information about assesment, entry requirements, etc.):

Goals:
The course aims to give the students understanding of the importance of noise on board of ships, the sources of noise and the means to reduce the effect. Also they learn how to measure noise and how to interpret the results. They are taught how to include the impact of noise in the design.
