Learning Outcomes

Ship Production • Background into various types of shipyards and overall layout criteria. • Plate and section pre-treatment; marking; cutting and forming. • Fabrication activities including fairing, sub-assembly and panel line techniques. • Berth activities including advance outfitting and module building practices. • Information system requirements, shipyard standards and planning activities. Ship Production Management • This module will be coordinated with the complementary part 2 15 credit “Engineering Management and Law” [EM&L] module FEEG2006. Five of the EM&L module credits will be awarded for management practice within the context of ship production. Management aspects such as project management, teamworking, budgetary performance, communications will be assessed via the EM&L module. • Ship building management systems and theory such as Product-orientated Work Breakdown Structure (PWBS); work and method study analysis; Network analysis and Critical Path Analysis Ship Design for Strength • Weight, buoyancy and load distributions. • Still water analysis – shear force, bending moment, slope and deflection; stresses. • Quasi static analysis of a ship poised on a wave. • Approximate methods and regulations in brief. • Cross section properties including effects of different materials. • Effect of adding/subtracting material to cross section. Midship Section Design • Midship section – Use of Lloyds classification society rules to determine structural requirements of specified vessel, work to include: • Complete local structure to Lloyds Rules. • Determine midship section modulus. • Assess longitudinal strength. • Model midship section in Lloyds RuleCalc. • Modify model to meet Lloyds requirements. Longitudinal Strength design • Derivation of still water bending moment (SWBM) for cargo vessel for a range of loading conditions.

Teaching methods include • 1 Introductory lecture • 12 Lectures on production • 5 lectures on Ship Structures (Longitudinal and Midship Strength). • 22 hrs of supervised design office sessions incorporating an introductory lecture. • 4 lectures on ship production management (provided under management module). • 6 x 1hr management tutorials (provided under management module). Learning activities include • Individual work on ship calculations/examples. • Individual work on using ship design software. • Directed reading/independent learning. • Report-writing (Coursework).
