Objectives

• In the Advanced Stability for Floating Structures course, students will master the principles of fluid mechanics and hydrostatics to analyze the equilibrium of floating structures. They will evaluate metacentric stability, design for optimal stability, and assess dynamic stability under wave-induced motions. Students will apply international stability criteria, navigate regulatory frameworks, and conduct risk assessments to ensure compliance and safety. By utilizing specialized simulation tools, they will make informed design decisions and address stability challenges in extreme weather conditions. Interdisciplinary collaboration will be emphasized, and students will learn from historical incidents, developing effective communication skills to present complex stability concepts to diverse audiences.
