The tetrahedron is one of the most fundamental and stable shapes in structural engineering due to its inherent rigidity. In three-dimensional space, a tetrahedron is the simplest form of a stable structure because it has the minimum number of edges needed to maintain its shape. It's the elementary constitutional cell of a 3D structure.

#throwbackthursday | Multi-Disciplinary Optimization of a Subsea Construction Vessel FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS has been a key contributor to the HOLISHIP European R&D project for a number of years (holiship.eu). Funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Transport Research Program, this project included 40 partners whose objective was to develop the next generation ship design system for the European maritime industry. HOLISHIP stands for HOLIstic optimization of SHIP design and operation for life cycle. FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS was the project leader of HOLISHIP’s work package 7. In this context we revisit a webinar recording in which FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS joined forces with Kongsberg Maritime to showcase how CAESES was used for the multi-disciplinary and complex design optimization of an offshore subsea construction vessel. An overview of methods and tools as well as a demonstration of CAESES’ partially-parametric modeling and geometry morphing capabilities were shown. Variation of the internal tank layout and the corresponding damage stability calculations were presented to demonstrate the seamless integration of third-party software, as required to set up an automated simulation-driven design process. The sophisticated workflows set up by Kongsberg Maritime are a great example of the possibilities arising from state-of-the-art engineering.

As the #aerospace industry gathered recently at Farnborough Airshow, it was a great opportunity to highlight some of the new technologies and capabilities emerging from the Midlands as significant building blocks for future industry requirements. We’re delivering a wide range of #innovation programmes at the moment supporting the sustainability of the supply chain, helping smaller companies to get into the aerospace and space sectors, helping to open up the advanced air mobility industry, supporting companies with accessing funding, and more. We’re also collaborating with other regional and national bodies to influence wider industrial and aerospace strategies. Read about these important projects, the organisations involved, and how the work will make a difference to companies of all sizes within the Midlands aerospace cluster, one of the largest in the world: https://lnkd.in/gXfa6CyS A&M Pure Precision, Aerospace Technology Institute, Accura Engineering, ADS Group Ltd, Alloy Wire International, ASG Group, Burcas Limited, Business Growth West Midlands, C.

Pushing Limits in Structural Analysis: The Performance of Parachutes Under Load I recently worked on a project to conduct a static structural analysis on a parachute as part of my continued research into aerospace engineering. The purpose of this study was to determine the material capabilities of the parachute and evaluate how its structure responds to applied force. Highlights of the project: Force Application: The parachute's surface was evenly subjected to a force equal to one kilogram. This mimicked actual operating conditions by simulating a situation in which the parachute encounters a regulated load. Calculating the shear stress acting on the parachute's material was the main objective of the investigation. Determining the parachute's longevity and effectiveness in load-bearing scenarios requires an understanding of this parameter. Important insights: The research gave crucial information on how stress is distributed throughout the surface, which aided in: Determine possible areas of stress concentration. Analyze the deformation of the material under load. Evaluate the material's safety factor in practical uses. Impact and Learning: This research helped me better grasp static structural mechanics and showed me how crucial accurate calculations are to maintaining aerospace safety and dependability. The knowledge acquired here is crucial for improving parachute designs, particularly for vital uses such as emergency landings, cargo drops, and space missions. Observing the Future: As engineers, we continue to concentrate on improving designs for effectiveness, dependability, and security. The development of next-generation parachutes that can endure higher forces while remaining lightweight is extremely promising due to developments in material science and modeling technology. I'd love to know what you think! How can we improve parachute performance even more by utilizing cutting-edge materials or methods? To advance the field of aeronautical innovation, let's work together and share ideas. #AerospaceEngineering #StructuralAnalysis #Simulation #ParachuteDesign #EngineeringInnovation #ANSYS #StressAnalysis

📢 Check out our new paper! We have developed an interpretation framework of bearing and stiffness factor for a robotic p-y module integrated on standard #CPT in undrained clay, based on extensive upper-limit analyses and 3D FE modelling. This framework allows geotechnical engineers to infer effectively the undrained strength and elastic stiffness properties of soil from the direct monotonic load-displacement measurement of robotic p-y module. Our ultimate goal is to reduce the number of onshore lab tests so that the timelines of #offshorewind projects can be accelerated. I would like to thank Prof. David White, Prof. Susan Gourvenec and Dr. Benjamin Cerfontaine, Prof. Andrea Diambra, who provided constructive feedback and valuable insights throughout the process. 📰This piece of work is a part of the EPSRC-funded ROBOCONE project, led by Prof. Andrea Diambra at the University of Bristol. This project aims to deploy modern technologies in robotics and sensor miniaturisation to revolutionise the configuration of CPT that has remained unchanged over the last half a century! 🔍 Curious about our research?
