Marine dynamics

Prospect use traditional engineering and advanced computer aided engineering (CAE) technologies like dynamic finite element analysis (FEA) to rapidly establish accurate operational constraints, define operational limitations and maximise operational windows under current, wave, depth and other externally imposed loads.

Marine systems requiring offshore installation and deployment can be expensive in terms of product and operational cost and health and safety.  Prospect's engineering answers define safe limits and maximise operational windows without compromising product reliability or safety.

Prospect’s marine dynamics engineering service includes:

  • Fatigue analysis
  • Vortex induced vibration (VIV) analysis
  • Added mass calculation
  • Hydrodynamic loading
  • Response Amplitude Operators (RAOs)
  • Drift-off analysis
  • Shielding effects
