Design and strength calculations to verify the construction of a tank (caisson). The caisson is designed for below-water welding work on piles embedded in the bed of the Skalda River for mooring watercraft.
Design and strength calculations to verify the construction of a tank (caisson). The caisson is designed for below-water welding work on piles embedded in the bed of the Skalda River for mooring watercraft. The project’s main objective was to develop a caisson design that is fixed to the piles while minimising interference with their structure.
Structural design of the caisson with strength calculations. The design was made in Solidworks, the strength calculations of the caisson were carried out in the OptiStruct Analysis environment of the HyperWorks package, using the quasi-static non-linear calculation algorithm.
A successfully completed structure that meets the client’s requirements.
Bus accessibility is not an afterthought but a set of requirements that influence the layout of the floor, suspension, and passenger compartment. A low entry height, space for a wheelchair, or the ability to lower the vehicle at a stop all stem from specific dimensional and functional requirements. That is why accessibility should be considered as early as the vehicle concept stage, rather than only during interior design.
Read moreCybersecurity in rolling stock has moved beyond a late-stage IT check and become a vehicle-engineering discipline. Network architecture, supplier responsibilities, software updates, secrets management and vulnerability handling all have to remain workable throughout a fleet’s service life.
Read moreRolling stock OEMs can reduce prototype risk by defining the validation scope early, connecting design with FEM analysis, checking critical joints and interfaces, and preparing traceable evidence before manufacturing begins. Simulation does not remove the need for physical testing. It helps make the prototype a confirmation of a mature design rather than the first place where major structural weaknesses are discovered.
