    MRE431 SELF-TEST

    2024

    Q1. (a) A 100m long vessel resting in sheltered waters. The CG of all weights fwd of
    midships is 20m fwd midships (ff=20m ) . The CG of all weights aft of midships is 25m aft
    of midships (fa=25m).as considered by Murray’s Method.
    (i) Describe how you would use Murray’s method to determine the still water bending
    moment for this vessel.
    (ii) What other information, if any, do you need?
    Q2. List and discuss the general structural types experience by a ship or vessel
    Q3 Describe with a well labelled diagram a midship cross section of a bulk carrier.
    Q4) A spherical vessel of 2 m diameter is subjected to an internal pressure of 2 MPa.
    Calculate the minimum thickness of the plates required, if the maximum stress is not to
    exceed 100 MPa. using 80% as efficiency of the joint

    Q5 The structural arrangement of a ship is determining by what? Explain.

    Q6 Differentiate between a single side shell vessel and a double hull vessel

    Q7 with a well labelled diagram, explain the following


    (i) Primary ship structure (ii) secondary ship structure (ii) Tertiary ship structure

    Q8 The internal combustion engine of a ship was built by MARINE ENGINEERING


    TESTING Company as part of an extensive project to address marine transportation problems
    in Nigeria. A crack of 4cm was found in the connecting rod made of cast iron rod of length
    21cm long, cross sectional area of 0.06m2 with and a force of 8.0 x 104N acting on it.

    a) Supposing you have been called to assess its safety, will the crack grow under the cyclic
    load to which the rod is subjected?

    b) Assuming the crack has grown from 4cm to 6cm and cracking rate K c for cast iron is
    . Determine the number of cycles to which the rod is subjected. Laboratory tests
    da
    show that the crack growth rate under cyclic load is given by = A ¿ Where
    dN
    . A for cast iron = 8.3 x 10–8 . m = 6.

    Q9 Explain the following give examples


    Ii LEFM, EPFM and LRFD
    ii Low and High frequency Dynamic loads
    Q10 a) List 5 purposes of structure in a ship.
    b) sketch a X-section of a ship at mid- ship and label all elements.

    Q11 Briefly explain the idea behind Murray’s method on longitudinal strength during
    ship design

    Q12 A ship weigh 200N has uniform density, is 1m long and 0.20m wide. the thickness is
    20 cm and is floating in fresh water, addition weight of 50 N on it at a distance of 0.6m
    from one side end., then the ship settles to an equilibrium position
    i) Draw the bending moment and the shear force diagrams.
    ii) What is the max. bending stress on the transverse plane at the middle of the ship at 0.5
    m from the end?
