Introduction
This is an advanced unit that introduces students to the linearised elastic analysis techniques required for the design of structural systems used in maritime engineering projects. Building upon the knowledge gained in previous structure-themed units, students are introduced to new theories and techniques required to make engineering decisions and calculations in the design of statically indeterminate structures and floating bodies. The knowledge gained in this unit will become the foundation for latter specialised structural analysis and design units of both Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering specialisations.
