UNIT OUTLINE JEE332 STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

Unit description
Structural Analysis (JEE332) introduces students to advanced aspects of the linearised elastic analysis of statically determinate and indeterminate structures used in ocean engineering and naval architecture design projects. This unit also introduces the student to the theories and concepts used to describe and analyse the dynamic response of physical systems. This knowledge will become the basis for the study of noise and vibration in later units. At the end of this unit, students will be able to deduce and apply analytical models to the design of marine structures; and use simple and advance methods to obtain internal forces and displacements as well as buckling loads.

Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of this unit, students should be able to: 1. Reduce complex structural systems and load cases to simplified analytical models. 2. Develop, solve and analyse simple mathematical models of the vibrational response of a physical system. 3. Apply basic and advanced structural analysis techniques to the design of structural components. 4. Conduct and report the findings obtained in simple structural experimental investigations. 5. Analyse, discuss and apply load cases, prescribed by Classification Societies, in the design of maritime structures.

Submission of assignments and reports

All assignments, reports, etc. must be completed using the template provided on the web, (http://www.amc.edu.au/beng.templates), unless otherwise specified by the lecturer. The accompanying cover sheet must be completed. All descriptive components of the assignments and reports should be typed. Group reports must be signed by all participants. Assignments and reports must be placed in the lecturers assignment box by the due dates (ground floor in the Swanson Building). Electronic submissions are not acceptable (unless otherwise instructed by lecturer). The assessed work will be returned during lecture or as agreed between the students and the lecturer.

How your final result is determined

The grade that you receive for this unit will be determined by a committee of examiners. The raw marks that you receive from each piece of assessable material will be combined in order to determine a letter grade for the unit (see Assessment Schedule for percent weighting).The raw marks may undergo a scaling process.

Penalties
Except in cases where medical documentation can prove a students illness during the appropriate period, or under certain exceptional circumstances, assignments will be deducted 10% of the maximum possible mark for each working day an assignment is submitted late. Assignments submitted more than 5 working days (i.e., 1 calendar week) late will not be accepted. Electronic submissions are not acceptable. Failure to adhere with the OH&S standards whilst taking part in any assessed activity that involves field trips and/or that requires the use of UTAS or AMC facilities will result in the following penalties: first offense - 5% penalty (applicable to the whole team in team projects); second offense by student (or another member of the same team in team projects) 20% penalty (applicable to the whole team in team project); and third offense - a fail grade in the assessment.

Problems with your assessment

If you have questions or problems with your assessment, you should discuss this with the following people: (1) The person who marked the assessment. (2) Unit Coordinator. (3) Head, Maritime Engineering. (4) Director, National Centre for Maritime Engineering and Hydrodynamics. If this does not resolve the issue, you may a file formal appeal. The procedure is given at: http://www.studentcentre.utas.edu.au/examinations_and_results/results/result_review_results. htm

Course rules
More information with regard to content, assessments, grading, etc. is found in the Course Rules Document at: http://www.amc.edu.au/be.course.content.rules

Academic referencing
In your written work you will need to support your ideas by referring to scholarly literature, works of art and/or inventions. It is important that you understand how to correctly refer to the work of others and maintain academic integrity. Failure to appropriately acknowledge the ideas of others constitutes academic dishonesty (plagiarism), a matter considered by the University of Tasmania as a serious offence. For information on presentation of assignments, including referencing styles: http://www.utas.edu.au/library/assist/gpoa/gpoa.html Please read the following statement on plagiarism. Should you require clarification please see your unit coordinator or lecturer.

Academic misconduct
Academic misconduct includes cheating, plagiarism, allowing another student to copy work for an assignment or an examination and any other conduct by which a student: a) seeks to gain, for themselves or for any other person, any academic advantage or advancement to which they or that other person are not entitled; or b) improperly disadvantages any other student. Students engaging in any form of academic misconduct may be dealt with under the Ordinance of Student Discipline, and this can include imposition of penalties that range from
Unit outline version 3/02/2013

UNIT OUTLINE JEE332 STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS a deduction/cancellation of marks to exclusion from a unit or the University. Details of penalties that can be imposed are available in the Ordinance of Student Discipline Part 3 Academic Misconduct, see http://www.utas.edu.au/universitycouncil/legislation/ Plagiarism is a form of cheating. It is taking and using someone else's thoughts, writings or inventions and representing them as your own; for example, using an author's words without putting them in quotation marks and citing the source, using an author's ideas without proper acknowledgment and citation, copying another student's work. If you have any doubts about how to refer to the work of others in your assignments, please consult your lecturer or tutor for relevant referencing guidelines, and the academic integrity resources on the web at: http://www.academicintegrity.utas.edu.au/ The intentional copying of someone elses work as ones own is a serious offence punishable by penalties that may range from a fine or deduction/cancellation of marks and, in the most serious of cases, to exclusion from a unit, a course or the University.

The University and any persons authorised by the University may submit your assessable works to a plagiarism checking service, to obtain a report on possible instances of plagiarism. Assessable works may also be included in a reference database. It is a condition of this arrangement that the original authors permission is required before a work within the database can be viewed.

For further information on this statement and general referencing guidelines, see http://www.utas.edu.au/plagiarism/ or follow the link under Policy, Procedures and Feedback on the Current Students homepage.

Further information and assistance

If you are experiencing difficulties with your studies or assignments, have personal or life planning issues, disability or illness which may affect your course of study, you are advised to raise these with your lecturer in the first instance. There is a range of University-wide support services available to you including Teaching & Learning, Student Services, and International Services. Please refer to the Current Students homepage at: http://www.utas.edu.au/students/ Should you require assistance in accessing the Library visit their website for more information at: http://www.utas.edu.au/library/
