Hydrostatics and stabilityLaajuus (7 cr)
Code: 5031334
Credits
7 op
Objective
The student is able to calculate the floating position and the initial stability of a ship, both manually and with a computer program. The student is able to avoid the dangers related to floatability and stability in her/his design work. The student can analyze stability- related problems, such as why the Vasa, the Titanic, the Estonia and the Costa Concordia were destroyed. The student knows how to apply the stability rules and regulations in her/his design work.
Content
The focus in the Hydrostatics and Stability - course is in the basics of ship floating position and stability, and their impact on safety. Examples are analyzed manually and with computer programs based on lines drawings and hydrostatic calculations.
