Principles of Naval Architecture JEE504
Introduction
This unit equips students with a knowledge of vessel hull forms, hydrostatic concepts and parameters, introduce the concepts of ship behaviour in waves and the process of evaluating the seakeeping characteristics of a vessel, and phases within the design process. The unit builds upon prior undergraduate engineering knowledge to develop the conceptual and analytical skills necessary at a detailed level of ship design with a particular emphasis required for initial parameter estimates. This knowledge can then be applied to obtain solutions to practical problems pertaining to the design of ships' hulls and structure discussed in another Unit, JEE503.

Note
Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.

Learning Outcomes
- Learn hydrostatic theory and its function as fundamental stage of ship design, and its vital applicability throughout a marine vehicle life cycle.
- Calculate hydrostatic data for any hull form and predict the influence of hull form parameters on a vessel's stability characteristics.
- Understand the impact of external forces in marine environment and to undertake vehicle response in the process of designing a hull form.
- Demonstrate the use of various analysis methods in compliant with practical operational requirements and appropriate codes and regulations.
