Subsea Enclosures / Design, Engineering & structural analysis

Most enclosures are unique and require detailed stress analysis in order to validate their design integrity. While it is mostly straightforward to correctly size a housing’s wall thickness and come up with early preliminary designs parameters, a sound analysis is crucial in identifying high stress areas due to the interactions of the assembly components.

High stress can appear, for example, due to the deflection of the end cap against the cylindrical housing end. Such stress can only be properly quantified via finite element analysis.

Such analysis/simulations not only allow us to predict the viability of a design but it allows us to improve its design quality, to optimize the product life or simply to save on its overall weight.

Bellamare`s team has over 35 years of design and analysis experience not only in the marine industry but also in the aerospace and nuclear industry. Knowledge of design standards and industry practices coupled with an extensive knowledge of material properties and machining technologies makes us a trusted resource for your most difficult design challenges.

Our promise for quality begins with our engineers experience and the use of state-of-the-art analysis tools.
