Course Objective

Small craft manufacturing is one of the major industry of the maritime sector in Aegean Region. Special aspects of small craft design and production will be presented during the course by using very wide range ofthe methods: rule based, computer-aided, author based, traditional, etc.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To describe the properties of the various species of wood used in small craft building, and determine the species of choice for a particular application and discuss methods of preventing decay.
2   To calculate the scantlings, prepare the construction drawings, and prepare the table of weights and center of gravity location for a wooden boat.
3   To know the properties and uses ofthe reinforcement fibers and material forms in current use in FRP small craft building, to know purpose and properties of resin systems, additives, and gel-coats, know what forms core materialsare available in
4   To understand how sandwich construction is used to increase resistance to bending in FRP structures
5   To define the plate spans, to define the loads, to define maximum allowable deflection, to size stringers and frames, to size the hull plating, deck and roof, plating, to determine laminate schedule for hull and deck and to determine scantling weights for a fiberglass boat.
6   To create and prepare a set of plans and specified calculations for a fiberglass boat and analyze fiberglass boat structure.
7   To describe the modular concept, balanced work stations, and component feed systems, and use the following recording methods: Drawings, patterns, cutting lists, incorporate transportation and shipping requirements into his/her planning, and design components so that they will be compatible with the mass production concept and production line requirements
8   To know the advantages and disadvantages of marine aluminum, to be able to specify the alloy best suited for various structural members, know the principle configurations that are commercially available, to comprehend and explain how galvanic corrosion effects aluminum hulls and to be able to recommend and specify methods to prevent or mitigate this problem
9   To be able to analyze, calculate and specify scantling of structures for welded and riveted boats, to comprehend and specify the methods used to construct aluminum boats and to be able to prepare working construction drawings for aluminum powerboats and sailboats
10   To describe the basic hardware components needed for CAD. To describe which programs are used for CAD in boat design and for what purpose, general sequence of steps and processes used to design a boat employing CAD.
11   To succesfully complete a design practicum by preparing specified plans and calculations for a small craft
