B.Sc Thesis

Hi,
I have one year to decide what will be my B.Sc thesis. The main idea is that I want to do something really serious, but I have no specific problem to solve. I have programming skills, FEA analisys skills ( Ansys, Cosmos ), strong math skills ( numerical methods ). I am interested in Ship Theory, Structural Analysis. I am not afraid of tough problems so please give me an idea ...

Thanks !

 

B.Sc in what field?

 

Naval Archtecture and Marine Engineering

 

your tutor should guide you.....he will have to mark it and if its something that interests him you are off to a good start...( well I always got my students to research something I was interested in !!!! )

 

Just give me some ideas from real life ... real specific problems that you solve every day ...

 

How about the structural requirements of cargo vessels not only to retain flotation but also internal stresses created by loading/unloading and stacking/storing cargo, or stress analysis of weapons platforms systems on hull structures? I am not involved in solving these problems, but they affect our lives.

 

A research which would be of interest to this community, too (since it was a theme of a recent discussion):
A comparative study of hull drag data of hard-chines vs. soft-chines hull forms for fast displacement vessels, with experimental validation for at least two hulls having L/B ratios of practical interest (say, 3.5 and 6 - someone else will put his numbers).

 

that will be fun...

If this field interests you , contact myself directly. Maybe you can do some research for my company as a thesis. As this is what we do everyday.
