Syllabus for NAVAL ARCHITECTURE II
Module I: (A) SHIP STABILITY
- Concepts of BM & KM. Calculation based on BM & KM, KM Curves. Use of Simpson’s Rules in the computation of areas; volumes and centroids. (B) SHIP CONSTRUCTION Longitudinal and transverse framing, Beams and Beam knees. Functions, constructions and stiffening of water tight bulkheads including collision bulkhead. Shell and deck plating. Bilge keels. Double bottom and peak tanks. Side and wing tanks. Bilges. Construction, stiffening and closing arrangements of opening on deck and superstructures. Sounding pipes, air pipes, ventilators. Hawse-pipes spurling pipes and their securing arrangement.
Module II: (A) SHIP STABILITY
- Determination of position of the longitudinal centre of gravity of a ship for different conditions of load and ballast. The effect on the position of centre of gravity of a ship by adding, removing and/or shifting weights. Longitudinal centre of buoyancy, Longitudinal metacentre and centre of flotation and factors affecting their positions. Concept of Pitch, Trim, GM L , KM L . (B) SHIP CONSTRUCTION An outline knowledge of the functions of ClassificationSocieties. Surveys for assignment and retention of class.
Module III: (A) SHIP STABILITY
- Theory of Trim. Changes of trim and draft due to loading, discharging and shifting weights. Change of trim due to change of density. Use of stability, hydrostatic and stress data supplied to ships.Calculations based on the foregoing including those based on “Trim and Stability Particulars” of a given ship (MV Hindship). (B) SHIP CONSTRUCTION General Pumping arrangements – Bilge and Ballast line systems. Pumping arrangement on tankers. Methods adopted to maintain integrity of divisions and opening in the hull including stern, side and bow doors.
