VERSION SPECIFIC DATA
course aims in Estonian
Aine eesmärk on anda üliõpilastele baasteadmised hüdrostaatika alustest ja laeva ujuvusest ning püstvusest.
course aims in English
The aim of the course is to provide basics of hydrostatics, and to give an overview of ship buoyancy and stability.
learning outcomes in the course in Est.
Õppeaine läbinud üliõpilane:
- määrab hüdrostaatilist rõhku ja selle põhjustatud rõhujõu ning selle rakenduspunkti asukohta;
- hindab laeva ujuvust ja algpüstuvust;
- hindab laeva dünaamilist püstuvust;
- hindab laeva püstuvust erijuhtudel: vabapind, rippuv last ja üleujutus.
learning outcomes in the course in Eng.
After completing this course. the student evaluates:
- hydrostatic pressure and force as well as the centre of pressure;
- ship buoyancy and initial stability;
- a ship's dynamic stability;
- a ship’s stability in special cases: freesurface, hanging load and damage stability.
brief description of the course in Estonian
