UNIT OUTLINE JEE332 STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

Unit outline version 3/02/2013 2

Unit description

Structural Analysis (JEE332) introduces students to advanced aspects of the linearised elastic

analysis of statically determinate and indeterminate structures used in ocean engineering and

naval architecture design projects.

This unit also introduces the student to the theories and concepts used to describe and analyse

the dynamic response of physical systems. This knowledge will become the basis for the

study of noise and vibration in later units.

At the end of this unit, students will be able to deduce and apply analytical models to the

design of marine structures; and use simple and advance methods to obtain internal forces

and displacements as well as buckling loads.

Learning outcomes

Upon successful completion of this unit, students should be able to:

1. Reduce complex structural systems and load cases to simplified analytical models.2. Develop, solve and analyse simple mathematical models of the vibrational response of

a physical system.

3. Apply basic and advanced structural analysis techniques to the design of structuralcomponents.

4. Conduct and report the findings obtained in simple structural experimentalinvestigations.

5. Analyse, discuss and apply load cases, prescribed by Classification Societies, in thedesign of maritime structures.

Submission of assignments and reports

All assignments, reports, etc. must be completed using the template provided on the web,

(http://www.amc.edu.au/beng.templates), unless otherwise specified by the lecturer. The

accompanying cover sheet must be completed. All descriptive components of the

assignments and reports shou ld be typed. Group reports must be signed by all participants.Assignments and reports must be placed in the lecturers assignment box by the due dates

(ground floor in the Swanson Building).

Electronic submissions are not acceptable (unless otherwise instructed by lecturer). The

assessed work will be returned during lecture or as agreed between the students and the

lecturer.

How your fi nal r esul t is determined

The grade that you receive for this unit will be determined by a committee of examiners. The

raw marks that you receive from each piece of assessable material will be combined in order

to determine a letter grade for the unit (see Assessment Schedule for percent weighting).The

raw marks may undergo a scaling process.

Penalties

Except in cases where medical documentation can prove a students illness during the

appropriate period, or under certain exceptional circumstances, assignments will be deducted

10% of the maximum possible mark for each working day an assignment is submitted late.

Assignments submitted more than 5 working days (i.e., 1 calendar week) late will not be

accepted. Electronic submissions are not acceptable.

Fail ur e to adhere with the OH& S standards whi lst taking part in any assessed activity that

involves fi eld tr ips and/or that requir es the use of UTAS or AMC facil ities wil l r esul t in the

fol lowing penalties:

fi rst of fense - 5% penal ty (applicable to the whole team in team projects); second offense by student (or another member of the same team in team projects) -

20% penal ty (appl icable to the whole team in team project); and

third offense - a fai l grade in the assessment.

(1) The person who marked the assessment.

(2) Unit Coordinator.

(3) Head, Maritime Engineering.

(4) Director, National Centre for Maritime Engineering and Hydrodynamics.

Academic referencing

In your written work you will need to support your ideas by referring to scholarly literature,

works of art and/or inventions. It is important that you understand how to correctly refer to

the work of others and maintain academic integrity.

Failure to appropriately acknowledge the ideas of others constitutes academic dishonesty

(plagiarism), a matter considered by the University of Tasmania as a serious offence.

For information on presentation of assignments, including referencing styles:

http://www.utas.edu.au/library/assist/gpoa/gpoa.html

Please read the following statement on plagiarism. Should you require clarification please see

your unit coordinator or lecturer.

Academic misconduct

Academic misconduct includes cheating, plagiarism, allowing another student to copy work

for an assignment or an examination and any other conduct by which a student:

a) seeks to gain, for themselves or for any other person, any academicadvantage or advancement to which they or that other person are not

entitled; or

b) improperly disadvantages any other student.Students engaging in any form of academic misconduct may be dealt with under the

Ordinance of Student Discipline, and this can include imposition of penalties that range from

a deduction/cancellation of marks to exclusion from a unit or the University. Details of

penalties that can be imposed are available in the Ordinance of Student Discipline Part 3

Academic Misconduct, seehttp://www.utas.edu.au/universitycouncil/legislation/

Plagiarism is a form of cheating. It is taking and using someone else's thoughts, writings or

inventions and representing them as your own; for example, using an author's words withoutputting them in quotation marks and citing the source, using an author's ideas without proper

acknowledgment and citation, copying another student's work. If you have any doubts about

how to refer to the work of others in your assignments, please consult your lecturer or tutor

for relevant referencing guidelines, and the academic integrity resources on the web at:

http://www.academicintegrity.utas.edu.au/

The intentional copying of someone elses work as ones own is a serious offence punishable

by penalties that may range from a fine or deduction/cancellation of marks and, in the most

serious of cases, to exclusion from a unit, a course or the University.

The University and any persons authorised by the University may submit

your assessable works to a plagiarism checking service, to obtain a report

on possible instances of plagiarism. Assessable works may also be included

in a reference database. It is a condition of this arrangement that the

original authors permission is required before a work within the database

can be viewed.

For further information on this statement and general referencing guidelines, see

http://www.utas.edu.au/plagiarism/ or follow the link under Policy, Procedures and

Feedback on the Current Students homepage.

Further information and assistance

If you are experiencing difficulties with your studies or assignments, have personal or life

planning issues, disability or illness which may affect your course of study, you are advised

to raise these with your lecturer in the first instance.

There is a range of University-wide support services available to you including Teaching &Learning, Student Services, and International Services. Please refer to the Cur rent Students

homepage at:http://www.utas.edu.au/students/
