Structural Analysis and Design

Our work has been particularly directed at the generation of models for simulation and stress analysis of structures in the marine environment, both at the global and local level.

We maintain a range of analysis packages including the linear and non-linear finite element programs STAAD PRO, COSMOS and SESAM, and a combined hydrodynamic and structural simulation package MOSES.

Global Maritime's expertise in structural analysis includes:

• Naval architecture
• Finite element analysis
• Sea loading and motions
• Advanced structural analysis
• Non-linear analysis

Our expertise ranges from global analysis and detail design of vessels to local analysis of minor modifications.

• Various steel structures in the marine environment are analysed every day, but neither steel nor the marine environment is a limitation.
• Our staff are capable of analysing structures in aluminium, concrete, timber and composite materials.
• Both linear and non-linear approaches are used to solve static and dynamic structural and mechanical problems.
• Our expertise includes plastic analysis (plastic capacity of structural elements and impact analysis).
• These approaches are used to analyse structures and mechanical components in all relevant limit states (ultimate, serviceability, fatigue and accidental limit state).
