Welcome to the Institute for Ship Structural Design and Analysis (DE: Institut für Konstruktion und Festigkeit von Schiffen) of Hamburg University of Technology. Once part of the Institute for Naval Architecture at Hamburg University it is now one of the three institutes at TUHH that cover almost all aspects of naval architecture.
We—professors and staff of the institute—are working on numerous projects in the area of ship structural design. At the same time we provide lectures and courses for the students of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering.
Why do containers or their connections fail and then end up in the sea?
As part of the TopTier project, we are working on the structural engineering issues and have built a test rig for this purpose and talked with the NDR about the safety of containers and their connections.
This year's taster course took place on 20th of February, at which we were represented with a stand. Interested students were given answers to questions about studying at the TUHH as well as shipbuilding.
Seit August ist die Technische Universität Partner des Ozeandekaden Komitees (ODK). Das Komitee hat das Ziel, die UN Dekade der Meeresforschung für Nachhaltige Entwicklung in Deutschland bekannt zu machen, die Umsetzung zu unterstützen und als Bindeglied zwischen nationalen und internationalen Aktivitäten zu fungieren.
