RESEARCH
The Computational Fluid Flow simulates are offering complementary information to the traditional wind tunnel experiments. The aeroelastic studies have been an important asset in the modern 21st-century long-span bridge design. The practical implementation can offer project money savings, such as flutter derivatives extraction with CFD simulations.
The industry has introduced some of the new bridge types, indicating a stronger nonlinear structural response. The traditional frequency-domain methods fail to provide the correct nonlinear wind response. Commonly rational functions of Scanlan’s flutter derivatives are researched state of the art load modes, however lacking on user-friendliness and require skilled know-how. We offer various time-domain models, suitable for implementation into different commercial codes, and developed algorithms are user-friendly and without a compromise on accuracy.
The cable vibrations can cause unpleasant vibrations. Proper self-excited Fluid-Structure Interaction can improve the cable design and offer production line savings.
Bridge design
Each bridge is an individual project requiring competence and know-how. Being part of your team will result in an efficient design. Together challenging designs can be accomplished with an increase competence of your team’s.
We are offering analyses of different type of new bridges and reconstructions. Specialized in cable-stayed and suspension bridge solution, an efficient and innovative solution can be investigated, by applying our experiences and sophisticated software solution. We are specialized in the dynamics of the structures, earthquakes, wind and wave loading.
Advanced simulations
The complex engineering designs are commonly multidisciplinary nature, merging two different disciplines knowledge, resulting in the new designs. A merge of offshore hydrodynamic engineering, bridge engineering and wind engineering yield some new innovative design. We offer comprehensive knowledge on the dynamic loadings and the fluid-structure interaction, such as wind and waves on a floating bridge.
