Structural Design & Analysis
of Ships and Floating Offshore Structures
Presented by Prof. Mirek Kaminski
Duration 4 days
Dates to be confirmed
Royal Cape Yacht Club,
Cape Town
Course Overview
In 4 days, you will learn selected methods used in the design and analysis of ships and offshore structures. The methods covered in this course are based on first principles rather than on methods prescribed in rules and codes.
Therefore, after this course you will be able to apply the gained knowledge to justify the design of conventional structures; design and analyze innovative structures that have not yet been fully regulated; and propose justified actions to solve operational challenges.
Who should attend?
This course should be attended by:
- Structural engineers who want to understand the theory and limitations of the methods used in structural engineering
- Maintenance engineers who want to understand where some operational challenges are coming from
- Non-structural engineers who want to learn the methods
