Ship Design Senior SD2

Ship Design II

Preliminary design of a large commercial vessel including general arrangements, powering analysis, lines plan development, and intact/damaged stability.

The preliminary design to meet the specifications developed in SD I is completed by each student in several projects over the semester. A general arrangement of the vessel, along with a powering analysis, is the first step. A lines plan is then developed, based on the preliminary hull from the first step. Next, another iteration of the arrangements is made, and finally the intact and damaged stability are analyzed. Two hours of class and four drawing room hours per week in the first semester.
