Sinthesis Models & Optimization.

Naval research synthesis models are used together with computer-based tools used to simulate the performance and behavior of naval systems, such as ships, submarines, and aircraft, and their whole systems. These models are used by us as naval researchers and engineers to design, evaluate, and optimize the performance of these systems in a variety of conditions. Some examples of our naval research synthesis models include:

  1. Materials.

    Our research and developing activities are focused in new types of composite materials that offer improved mechanical properties, such as higher strength, stiffness, and fatigue resistance. Examples of advanced materials include carbon nanotube-reinforced composites and graphene-reinforced composites, or a combination of different existent matrix to be improved.

    • Composites.

      Design and Analysis including the development of computer-aided design (CAD) tools that can model composite structures and predict their mechanical behavior under different loading conditions; Manufacturing Techniques enabling the production of larger and more complex composite structures with greater precision and efficiency automated fiber placement (AFP) and automated tape laying (ATL) as production of complex composite structures with minimal waste

    Specifications are classified into general and detailed. In general specifications, we talk about needed materials and works in general perspective.

    • Noise & Vibrations.

      It refers to the analysis and evaluation of the vibration levels and characteristics of ships while they are underway. Vibration can be caused by a number of factors, such as engine operation, propeller rotation, and waves, and it can affect the safety, comfort, and performance of the ship. Our Vibration analysis may include Hull vibration measurement that specifically focuses on the vibrations that occur in the hull of the ship, Propeller shaft alignment analysis as misaligned propeller shafts can cause significant vibration on a ship, ensuring that the shafts are properly aligned, reducing the risk of vibration, Unbalanced rotating equipment that cause vibration on a ship, Design optimization of the vessel in order to minimize the risk of vibration-related issues involving the use of specialized software to simulate the effects of vibration on the ship's structure and equipment.

    • Ship Seakeeping.

      We model the systems to simulate the hydrodynamic performance of ships in various sea conditions. It takes into account the ship's geometry, propulsion system, and other factors to predict its speed, stability, and maneuverability.

    • Ship Structure Reliability Based.

      Incorporating reliability analysis into the design process, takes into account the uncertainties associated with the loads and environmental conditions that a ship may encounter during its lifetime. This is done by using probabilistic analysis methods to determine the probability of failure under different loading and environmental conditions. The analysis considers factors such as the ship's structural strength, material properties, and the loads it will be subjected to in normal and extreme conditions. Once the potential failure modes have been identified and analyzed, the design is modified to reduce the likelihood of failure. This may involve changes to the structural design, material selection, or the addition of safety features such as redundancy in critical systems. The design is then re-evaluated to ensure that the reliability requirements have been met. Reliability-based design is particularly important in the marine industry, where ships are subjected to harsh operating conditions such as high waves, strong currents, and extreme temperatures. By incorporating reliability analysis into the design process, ship designers can ensure that their designs are safe and reliable, reducing the risk of accidents and improving the overall safety of marine transportation.
