Structures Training

The Online Masts, Towers and Axis Turbines Training course focuses on calculating wind turbulence and fluidelastic instabilities for masts, towers, and horizontal axis turbines. It covers incident flow, fluid loading, dynamic response, extreme responses, fatigue loading, and fatigue damage calculation. The course is designed for engineers, scientists, and students involved in wind or renewable energy engineering. It offers a balance of theory and practice through lectures and worked examples over a 2-day duration. The course is led by Professor Nigel Barltrop, an expert in fatigue and strength of offshore structures and renewable energy devices.

The Online Advanced Design of Ship Structures course focuses on the first principle design of ship structures, including advanced analysis procedures for beams and plates. It covers the ultimate strength of hull girders, progressive collapse analysis, and common structural rules. The course is designed for engineers, scientists, and personnel from ship-related industries, offering a balance of theory and practice. Lectures cover topics such as deterministic and probabilistic design, hull girder strength, and reliability-based design. The course is led by Professor Purnendu Das and spans two days.

The Online Hydroelasticity of Ship and Offshore Structure Training course focuses on the study of ship hydroelasticity for large vessels, emphasizing the importance of predicting wave-induced loads and vessel responses for designing and calculating large vessels' structures. The course targets engineers, scientists, ship management personnel, oil companies, classification societies, and shipbuilders. It covers topics such as basic hydrodynamics, seakeeping, and various methods for addressing hydroelasticity theory over a 2-day duration. Led by Dr. Ranadev Datta, the course offers a balance of theory and practice for practical application in the field.

The Online Geotechnics for Offshore Structures Training Course is a 2-day program focusing on geotechnical engineering for offshore structures. Led by experts Dr. Ana Ivanovic and Trevor Hodgson, the course covers topics such as soil characterization, foundation concepts, and design of mudmats and mooring anchors. Dr. Ivanovic's research background includes investigating marine pipelines and seabed influences, while Hodgson brings over thirty years of experience in offshore-related areas. Participants will gain insights into geotechnical analysis and design specific to offshore environments.

The Online Structure Integrity Analysis (Fatigue and Fracture) Training course focuses on providing engineers and scientists with a deep understanding of fatigue and fracture mechanics in structural design. Attendees will learn about stress/strain calculations, fatigue assessment, multiaxial fatigue, fracture mechanics, crack/flaw analysis, and material selection for fatigue and fracture resistance.

The Virtual Engineering Structures Under Fire & Blast Training course covers structural response under blast loading and fire, including blast profile, design principles, and fire physics. Participants will learn about numerical methods, structural and human response assessment, and design procedures for steel and concrete members. The course is suitable for engineers, managers, scientists, and technologists involved in designing and managing various engineering structures. The program includes lectures on blast response analysis, numerical modeling, fire safety design, and modeling techniques for structural fire analysis. Dr. Feng Fu, an experienced lecturer, will lead the course over 2 days.

The "Virtual Steel Training" course on "Fire Resistance Design of Steel and Composite Structures" aims to provide participants with in-depth knowledge on fire resistance requirements, design procedures, and protection methods for steel structures. Led by Professor Yong Wang, the course covers Eurocode standards and practical applications, offering valuable insights from his extensive experience in structural and fire engineering. Participants can request attendance certificates upon completing the webinar.
