This course introduces the fundamental principles of the structural mechanics of ships, focusing on the analysis of strength, stiffness, and stability of ship hull structures.
Students study the stress–strain state of elastic bodies, including stresses, deformations, and displacements under external loads and temperature effects. The course covers key topics such as elasticity theory, bending of beams and plates, torsion of rods, and stability of ship structures.
Special attention is given to practical engineering applications, including calculation methods for ship hull elements, assessment of structural reliability, and optimization of design for safe and efficient operation.
