The Challenge
Managing strict structural weight limitations while accounting for many combinations of loads, including aggressive hydrodynamic wave actions, severe cyclic fatigue, and payload dynamics.
STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY
Structural Steel Optimization
Advanced FEA-driven steel optimization designed to enhance fatigue resistance and structural efficiency under extreme offshore wave and payload dynamics.
Project Profile
Structural Steel Optimization
Design Services RK Ltd was commissioned to deliver the comprehensive structural design, finite element verification, and fabrication drafting for a feed system. Our team optimized the structural steel layout to withstand aggressive hydrodynamic wave action, fatigue degradation over a 25-year lifespan, and severe cyclic load profiles.
