ABOUT THE COURSE

The primary objective of this short course is to provide conversion or refresher training for science and engineering graduates and experienced draughtsmen who hold active line responsibilities in the design of ships and ship systems and in shipbuilding practice. The course is designed in such a way that at the end of the lectures, the person will have a very broad understanding of the behaviour of ships under a variety of loading and operating conditions. The syllabus will include: basic definitions of ships, structural components of the hull girder, general arrangement, ships as functional blocks, hydrostatics & hydrodynamics. The course is intended for practising engineers and research scientists who need to understand the concepts behind the behaviour of ships & ships system at sea.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Engineers and scientists involved in the design of ships and ship systems. Personnel from ship management companies, oil companies, classification societies and ship builders will benefits from attending this course. The course is innovative in both content & structure with a careful balance of theory & practice.

CVs of Lecturers

Ian E Winkle

Ian E Winkle BSc CEng, MRINA recently retired as a Senior Lecturer in the Dept of Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering, Universities of Glasgow & Strathclyde after 26 years involved in Naval Architecture, Ship Design and Ship Production. Before joining the Universities of Glasgow & Strathclyde Mr Winkle worked with Vicker’s Ltd Shipbuilding Group at their Walker Naval Yard and St. Albans Ship Model Experiment Tank before joining Lloyd’s Register of Shipping for a year as a Travelling Scholar. He then spent nearly 4 years working as a Research Officer in the Production Division of the British Ship Research Association, developing new fabrication techniques, before becoming Principal Lecturer in the Dept of Maritime Studies at the Northern Ireland Polytechnic. His areas of research interest include Stability of Damaged Ro-Ro Vessels – most notably the development of the ‘Glasgow Concept’ and the Fabrication of Steel and GRP Ship Structures using Toughened Structural Adhesives, much of which has been undertaken as principal investigator of a range of EPSRC projects.

Professor. D Sen

Prof. D Sen, B.Tech, M.Eng., Ph.D., FRINA, FIE is a Professor and former head
of the Department of Ocean Engineering and Naval Architecture, as well as former
head of the Centre for Oceans, Rivers, Land and Atmospheric Sciences, Indian Institute
of Technology Kharagpur India. He has completed his graduate studies (master’s
and Ph.D.) from Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada during 1982- 1988.
Since 1988, he is engaged in teaching and research at Indian Institute of Technology
Madras (1988-1991) and Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (1991 – present).
Prior to proceeding for graduate studies, he has worked for about 4 years (1977-1981) in
a large shipbuilding industry. His main area of expertise is in marine hydrodynamics,
with specific applications in wavestructure interactions, sea-keeping and
maneuverability. He has authored a large number of papers in reputed journals
such as Journal of Ship Research, Applied Ocean Research, and also in many wellknown international conferences. He is presently in the editorial board of two international journals. He has successfully completed many sponsored research and industrial consultancy projects. He was
Principal Coordinator of the National Program in Marine Hydrodynamics during 2007-2014, a national programme under the Naval research Board for coordinating developments in marine hydrodynamics within India. He was the leader of the R&D project on development of India’s first
indigenously developed AUV. He has been a member of a large number of national and
international committees including the AUV division of ECOR committee. One of his main
interests is to disseminate knowledge on practical state-of-art applications of
hydrodynamics in marine design
