SD2701 Introduction to Naval Architecture 8.0 credits

The course is based on the following three main topics:

• hydrostatics and stability
• resistance: phenomena and analysis methods
• sail and screw propulsion
• initial naval craft design

Further an introductive overview of naval systems is given for instance by guest lectures from the industry.

The course will give the student basic knowledge of the mechanics of naval crafts – stability, resistance, sail and propeller propulsion. Course participants will gain theoretical knowledge, and through assignments gain practical skills, of modern analysis methods.

Base programme T, M P, F or equivalent.

Course binder, Garme, Kuttenkeuler & Rosén.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• INL1 - Assignments, 3.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
• LAB1 - Laboratory Work, 2.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TEN1 - Examination, 3.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Written exam (TEN1; 3 university credits), project home work (INL1; 3 university credits) and practical investigations (LAB1; 2 university credits)
