Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

Static and quasi-static finite element analysis of marine structures for extreme design loads, over-stress and buckling.

Description

MCA uses a finite element analysis (FEA) approach for static and quasi-static assessments of marine structures. The analysis quantifies the effects of extreme design loads and predicts the relative likelihood of failure due to over-stress and buckling.

Candidate modifications addressing areas of concern are also simulated to optimize them and confirm their effectiveness before implementation.

Key features

  • Static and quasi-static assessment
  • Quantification of extreme design load effects
  • Prediction of over-stress and buckling failure likelihood
  • Simulation of candidate structural modifications

Applications

  • Oil tankers and container ships
  • Other marine structures requiring structural assessment
