Introduction to the study of stresses, strain, and deformation of a solid body which results when static forces are applied. Transformation of stresses and strains, torsion, beam deflection, and combined loadings are discussed. First and second law of thermodynamics. Carnot and Rankin principles and reversible heat cycles. Properties and processes of vapors, vapor-power cycles, and vapor refrigeration cycles.
Laboratory includes experimental testing of material properties and heat treatment techniques.
Study of the ship design program. Students will be exposed to mission analysis, conceptual design, contact design, preliminary design, and engineering during construction. Course will cover trade-off analysis, financial analysis, scheduling, cost control, and design management. A design project will run concurrently with classroom work. The laboratory includes the experimental investigation of surface waves and classic fluid dynamic problems.
