Lectures Exercises Laboratory exercises Project laboratory Physical education excercises Field exercises Seminar Design exercises Practicum 30 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - Course objectives:
- Introduction to current offshore structures and the environment in which they operate: structures for the exploitation of hydrocarbons and structures for the exploitation of renewable energy sources. Presentation of mathematical and numerical approaches intended for mooring system response calculation. The application of these approaches with comparison to model tests results. Presentation of specific problems of different types of offshore structures through their comparison with similar problems in ship design. The application of the basic knowledge for the needs of project development in the field of offshore technology.
- Student responsibilities:
- Grading and evaluation of student work over the course of instruction and at a final exam:
- Colloquium (or numerical exam) 40%, oral exam 30%, project 30%
- Methods of monitoring quality that ensure acquisition of exit competences:
- Testing through homework
- Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to (learning outcomes):
- Define the state of the environment, i.e. wind, waves and sea currents. Express the basic physical principles of the environment on offshore structures. Apply the Morrison equation to determine the load on jacket structures. Calculated static response of the marine riser. Calculate the static response of the mooring line. Calculate the static response of the mooring system. Identify the specifics of the strength of the offshore structures. Formulate the principles of designing of offshore structures.
