Detailed description of topics:
The construction of
ships and offshore platforms mainly consist of a 3-dimensional configuration
of thin stiffened plate panels (decks, shell, transverse- aand
longitudinal-bulkheads etc.), while the panels are loaded in their plane as
well as laterally.
This course and
accompanying instructions give guidance for analysing this kind of complex
and highly redundant structures.
By learnig to
distinguish a hierarchy in the construction it will be possible to logically
classfy the components of the construction based upon their function(s) and
to understand the structural concept (-design)
With help of this
background, exercises will be made to model parts of the construction in view
of strength analysis. Decisions related to relevant loads and boundary
conditions for the models are the other essential ingredients for performing
response analysis.
This method is also
helpful in understanding the principles underlying the formulas in the rules
of classification societies and to decide if they are relevant for a
particular situation.
Attention is paid to
the use of the structural concept in the early design stage as an important
tool to find a good balance between
strength, stiffness, weight, material- fabrication- and maintenance-costs.
The analysis of the
longitudinal strength of a ship hull, together with the determination of the
relevant global loads, is a major component of this course. |
