Module Recommendations

This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is strongly recommended before enrolment in this module. You may enrol in this module if you have not acquired the recommended learning but you will have considerable difficulty in passing (i.e. achieving the learning outcomes of) the module. While the prior learning is expressed as named MTU module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s).

Indicative Content
Software Applications
Use of standard office, and specialised commercial, software in naval architecture calculations
International Standards
IMO stability criteria, intact and damaged stability.
Transverse Stability
Transverse stability – Ship stability data, KN presentation, cross-curves of stability, vertical and horizontal shift of masses, free surface effect, suspended masses, angle of list, wall sided formula, angle of loll, bilged compartments. Dynamic stability Generation of hydrostatic data
Longitudinal stability
Trim, mean draught, true mean draught, parallel sinkage,centre of flotation, effect of adding, removing or moving masses longitudinally, ship moving from sea water to fresh water and vice versa, bilged end compartments. Use of hydrostatic tables and curves. MCTC
Rudder Theory
Torque and bending moment on rudder stock, angle of heel due to force on the rudder, angle of heel due to turning in circular course.
Ship strength
Shearing force and bending moment associated with vessel loading
