MSc - NTNU
3–6 Months
Masters of Science Programes
The following topics are addressed: Linear elastic analysis of shell- and plate-structures including numerical methods. Energy principles and virtual work. Plate buckling based on second order theory. Analyttical and energy-based numerical solution methods. Buckling of plate panels. Cross-section analysis. Design criteria related to yielding, buckling and fatigue.
The course deals with the load-carrying functionality, load-effect analysis and design of ships and marine structures.
Be able to analyse load-carrying components in floating hulls and their associated mechanical limit states and to be able to analyse the stress distribution in such components.
