Principles of safety and seakeeping for marine design workLaajuus (2 cr)
Course unit code: 5121030
General information
- Credits
- 2 cr
- Teaching language
- English
Objective
The student can perform basic calculations of ship motions and seakeeping predictions and relate them to floatability and stability in still water
Content
As the course deals with major safety issues of ship design, it starts with repetition of basics of floatability and stability, prior knowledge level assessment, and self-studies. The course topics are:
- Distance learning materials of ship stability for non- shipbuilders
- Ship as spring-mass-damping system
- Ship motions in regular and irregular waves
- Effects of seakeeping on humans on board
- Effects of seakeeping in offshore design
