Hello everyone!
My name is Javier Calderón. And I am Pablo Merino.
We’ll be your instructors on the second course on Structural Design & Scantling using the ISO 12215 norm.
In this second part, we will delve deeper into the subject by addressing additional topics such as metallic materials, motorboats, and multihulls, and we will also introduce wooden boats.
Javier Calderón: I hold a PhD in naval architecture and am currently enrolled as an Associate Professor in the Naval Architecture department at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM). My specialization is in hydrodynamics as well as in yachts and high-performance craft.
Pablo Merino: I am a naval architect with a PhD in Mathematical Engineering. I am currently working at a company focused on the offshore industry with a special emphasis on mooring design and the development of digital tools for floating platforms and mooring monitoring. I am also involved in both research and teaching activities at UPM.
The ISO standard will be discussed in greater detail, including practical applications to motorboats and multihulls and real-world examples of design pressure calculations and scantling.
The course concludes with a brief application of the standard to wooden structures.
This course builds on the previous one by reviewing the general concepts of strength of materials as well as introducing new advanced features such as the Euler-Bernoulli Timoshenko theories.
We will also explore the mechanical properties of metallic materials, especially focusing on steel, aluminum, and wood.
We will review the applications of these materials in the boat building industry.
If you want to expand your knowledge of structural design and scantling using the ISO 12215 norm, then this course is for you.
We are very excited to have you on board!
