Structural Design and Naval Structural Calculations

Technical Foundation of Naval Architecture

Naval structural calculations form the technical foundation for verifying hull integrity and the strength of its primary and secondary structural members. Proper application reduces structural risks and ensures long-term operational reliability in accordance with applicable maritime regulations.

Global and Local Structural Stress Analysis

Includes evaluation of:

• Longitudinal bending

• Structural torsion

• Local stress concentrations

• Interaction between frames, stiffeners, and primary hull structure

This analysis verifies the vessel's load-bearing capacity under real operational and navigation conditions, ensuring structural safety and compliance with applicable maritime engineering standards.

Applied Load Modeling

Naval structural calculations consider different loading scenarios, including:

• Hydrostatic loads

• Hydrodynamic forces

• Structural vibrations

• Fatigue from cyclic loading

Accurate load modeling is essential to prevent premature structural failure and ensure long-term hull integrity and operational safety.

Calculation Methods: Classical Approaches and Finite Element Analysis (FEM)

Itructural assessment is performed using both classical calculation methods and advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEM) to evaluate:

• Longitudinal bending

• Structural torsion

• Local stress distribution

• Interaction between frames, stiffeners, and primary hull structure

This combined methodology verifies the vessel’s structural strength and load-bearing capacity under real navigation and loading conditions, ensuring compliance with applicable maritime engineering standards.

Application to Commercial Vessels, Yachts and Recreational Craft

This service is applied to:

• Commercial vessels

• Yachts and megayachts

• Recreational craft

• Passenger vessels

Each vessel type requires a specific naval engineering approach, depending on its displacement, length overall (LOA) and operational profile, ensuring structural safety and compliance with applicable maritime regulations.
