Course Description

This is a detailed course starts with commonly used engineering calculations such as area, volume, moment and area-volume of centroid calculations. Knowledge acquired through prior lectures on ship geometry and ship hydrostatic calculations will be revisited and practiced. Principles of intact and damage stability calculations will be given and relevant exercises will be performed in tutorial sessions.  Additional practice will be provided by given three projects.

Course Objectives

-To provide a solid understanding on hydrostatics and stability calculations of marine vehicles by applying the fundamental engineering calculations.

-To teach various solution techniques to calculate the stability characteristics of marine vehicles.

-To provide the ability to assess the safety of ships and marine vehicles in accordance with national and international safety regulations.

- To gain an accurate and deep understanding on ship design in terms of ship stability. 

Course Learning Outcomes

1. Improve proficiency in fundamental engineering calculations.
2. Perform ship stability calculations.
3. Practicing to apply international relevant stability criteria and learn to design a ship that complies the relevant criteria.
4. Appreciation and deep understanding of ship design in terms of ship stability.

Instructional Methods and Techniques

Lectures will be given through slide shows; sample problems will be solved in class and real-life applications will be discussed in class with question and answer sessions.
