Aims
A1. To introduce the basic design concepts for fixed and floating offshore oil and gas platforms
A2. To provide fundamental knowledge to understand key factors influencing the dynamic behaviour of fixed and
floating offshore platforms and installations
A3. To develop computational skills to predict the dynamic motion and structural response of fixed and floating
offshore platforms
Outline Of Syllabus
Wave theories; wave, wind, and current force predictions; single and multi-degree of freedom systems; rigid-body equations of single and multi-body systems; vortex induced vibrations; dynamic analysis of semi-submersibles, TLPs, seakeeping design of floating systems.

Teaching Rationale And Relationship
Lectures are designed to convey the underlying technical and management practices (IKO1 - IKO4) and the professional skills required during the design and construction of pipeline projects (ISO1 - ISO3). Practicals are a mix of supervised and self-organising group activities in which the students practise use of the skills to carry out route selection (ISO4). Independent study gives time for the students to read recommended references (IKO1 - IKO4) to develop intellectual and professional skills in the design of onshore and offshore pipelines (ISO1 - ISO4).
Assessment Methods
The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners

Formative Assessments
Formative Assessment is an assessment which develops your skills in being assessed, allows for you to receive feedback, and prepares you for being assessed. However, it does not count to your final mark.
| Description | Semester | When Set | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Written exercise | 2 | M | A class test in a tutorial session |
Assessment Rationale And Relationship
The examination provides students with an opportunity to demonstrate knowledge, understanding and the possession of subject-specific, cognitive, and key skills. This medium also allows students to demonstrate intended learning outcomes across a wide range of topics within the syllabus.
