Ship Design Assignment - Design Project
UNIT LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. Demonstrate an understanding of practical issues with respect to the selection and design of a vessel's key features, structure and integral systems.
2. Design a hull form and efficient structure compliant with practical operational and performance requirements and appropriate codes and regulations.
3. Produce an abbreviated suite of supporting design documentation exhibiting a rational engineering approach to a preliminary design.
4. Develop an appropriate project management regime and associated tools to facilitate efficient design practice.
A concept design of medium or small sized chemical oil tanker for "Great Eastern company" from Indian classification society, which will be used to transport petroleum or chemical oil products around the Indian coastal areas.
Topic - Design of a small or medium sized oil tanker
DESIGN PROJECT - PART 1
The design assignment is a broad Research and Development investigation through any form of media and is comprised of two parts. The design project tasks students to develop a mission statement and associated design brief for the design of a new small to medium sized commercial vessel (max 80m length) followed by the development of a detailed design in response to this documentation.
Part 1 of the Design Project requires the completion of two tasks:
Task 1: Acting as a ship owner, develop a mission statement and accompanying design brief containing all necessary information to enable a concept design development. You may format the information as a Request for Proposal (RFP).
Task 2: Acting as a naval architect, develop a concept design which meets the design brief created during task 1. As a bare minimum, your concept design should include; a GA, development of principal dimensions and accompanying rationale, and any other introductory documentation. Refer to your notes for a comprehensive list of concept design requirements. You may format this as a proposal in response to the RFP, albeit in abbreviated form. The vessel length and type is not necessarily restricted. Students are not to use the ‘Parent hull' method of copying an existing vessel for their design.
DESIGN PROJECT - PART 2
Design Brief and Documentation
Task Description - Carrying on from Part 1 of the Design Project, further develop your concept design to a preliminary design. Demonstrate the process for analysis and prediction of hydrostatic, resistance, seakeeping and manoeuvring characteristics. Prepare a lines plan, general arrangement and midship structural arrangement in addition to a concise report outlining the underpinning rationale and suggested remedial options required to further refine the design.
Both hand or CAD drawings are acceptable but drawings must be to scale and demonstrate a level of professionalism.
Separate documents in PDF format for sketches will be assessed providing appropriate references to the sketches are made within the main document.
Length of report - The minimum report length is 4 pages of writing with sketches, research, calculations and appendices to follow. However it is up to the student to decide exactly on the length of the report.
Assessment Details -
This Design Development is to include the following as a minimum:
- Documentation outlining the developed design, any variations and modifications.
- Further developed dimensions and parameters in accordance with any variations required.
- Developed drawings, sketches or images outlining the developed design, i.e. lines plan, general arrangement and midship structural drawing.
- Further research and development and any influences on the development of the design - if required
- Written documentation outlining the background to, and major aspects of the design. Pay particular attention to the principal features that define this style of design.
- Upright hydrostatics and large angle stability.
- Assessment of at least one seakeeping scenario appropriate to the intended application of your vessel.
- Assessment of the manoeuvring characteristics including if applicable a detailed rudder design or equivalent.
Please note: The seakeeping and manoeuvring characteristics must be predicted to an advanced level. Need to make assignment with cargo vessel design.
