Mechanics of Solids for Marine Structures

Undergraduate

introduces mechanical properties of materials and stress/strain analysis. These concepts are applied to the design and analysis of bars, beams, and built-up ship frames in axial tension/compression, torsion, shear and bending. In particular, the concepts of plane stress, plane strain, stress and strain transformations in two dimensions, Mohr’s circle, and shear force and bending moment diagrams are examined. Elastic column buckling and the design of hull structures are also introduced.
