autumn 2017 TEK-3008 Marine Engineering - 10 ECTS
Course content
- Introduction to hydrodynamics, linear wave theory and calculation of wave forces on marine structures and pipelines. Both static and dynamic evaluations are carried out and extreme values are being calculated.
- Introduction to wind and wind loads
- Principles for the dimensioning of structures.
- Stability of floating structures an introduction to the design of offshore pipelines.
- Realistic design of fixed space frame offshore structures
