Handbook

In response to a nominated design brief, all essential ship design tasks are individually completed to a preliminary stage in Ship Design Project A: Principal particulars; hull lines; general arrangement; estimate of weights and centres; resistance calculation; machinery selection; performance prediction and structural design, culminating in a presentation. To assist with the design project, advanced structural design considerations are addressed, namely optimisation, vibration, noise, shock, slamming, whipping, risk and drawing practices.
