Aims
To develop knowledge and understanding of:
A1. The global response of ship as a beam in still water and poised on a wave
A2. The resulting forces, moments and stresses
A3. The calculation and development of midship section
A4. The statistical nature of hull bending in waves
A5. Response of slender elements in compression
A6. Ship structural components and materials in structural design and analysis.
A7. To increase awareness of structural and related principles and concepts
A8. To develop the knowledge and skills to undertake ship structural design and analysis
The module provides an awareness of structural principles and their application to marine related
problems. Topics include: static equilibrium; beams, trusses; forces on a ship; longitudinal ship
strength in still water and wave, shear force, bending moment and related stresses; statistical
approach to wave bending; shear deflection, stress and lag; materials of construction; elastic
strut buckling; connections.

The use of lectures as the principle teaching method is an effective means to provide students
with the acquisition of the sizeable knowledge and base facilitate the understanding of the module
material (IKO1-20)
Practical sessions provide the forum for the knowledge and understanding developed through
formal lectures to be integrated into a coursework exercise to load an idealised bulk carrier with a
specified amount of cargo, evaluate the resulting loads, forces and moments and suggest midship
section scantlings (ISO1-2)
The exercise also provides a platform to exercise team - working and management, planning,
problem solving and numeracy skills (ISO1-2)
1. Lectures are designed to convert the underlying concepts and knowledge of marine structural
design and analysis (IKO1-IKO20) and the professional skills required to solve structural
problems (ISO1-ISO13).
2. Tutorials support the students' self study in reading around the lecture material and learning to
solve marine structural problems posed by the tutorial questions (ISO1-ISO13).
3. Practical sessions are a mix of supervised and self-organising activities in which the students
develop intellectual and problem-solving skills to design and analyse marine structures (ISO12-
ISO13).
4. Independent study gives time for students to read recommended references (IKO1-IKO20) and
practise their professional skills (ISO1-ISO13).
