INDUSTRIES
Naval & Marine
Development of structural monitoring and health analysis systems in maritime sector.
Naval, marine structures and components —from crewed vessels and naval ships to unmanned surface vehicles and autonomous platforms —operate under complex, dynamic load conditions that are difficult to fully capture through simulation alone.
At Inalia, we design, deploy, and interpret tailored and own structural monitoring systems to measure what these structures experience in operation, delivering real loads, performance assessment, fatigue analysis, and structural health insight to support design validation, and lifecycle decisions.
WHY INALIA
We offer
Inalia offers large experience on monitoring strategy design, virtual modelling, delivery, and installation of turnkey monitoring systems in offshore environment. All the way through to data analysis, diagnosis and digital twins.
Wind-assisted ship propulsion systems monitoring
- In-service bending moments, and total loads monitoring
- Aerodynamic loads discretization
- Trust Analysis
- Sail performance
- Sail vibrations
- Integrated hull-waps analysis. Fatigue assessment: stresses in the mast, critical interfaces, bolted joints
- Detection and identification of special events(slamming, etc)
- Wake phenomena. Aerodymanic interferences
Hull and bulkheads structural monitoring
Delivered as a modular, vessel-adaptable system —from sensor layout definition and installation to continuous monitoring and expert structural interpretation.
We instrument ship hulls at critical cross-sections to measure real bending moments under actual operating conditions —delivering:
- Real-time stress data and global bending moment maps
- Slamming loads and stresses
- Structural utilization levels and alerts against design limits
- Load correlation with sea state and operational conditions
- Fatigue histograms and hull fatigue assessment supported by FEM
- Dashboard visualization with customizable detail and API integration into vessel management systems
High-performance sailing & foil monitoring
Foils, masts, rigs, and structural interfaces on racing and high-performance sailing platforms —where uncertainty is the difference between performance and failure. Battle-tested at the 37th America’s Cup.
- Real foil loads, bending moments, and pressure distribution
- Foil real shape reconstruction and CL analysis
- Hull and foil slamming loads and stresses
- Mast and rig loads and structural assessment
- Digital twin development and performance optimization
Marine components & vessel systems
We offer tailored and turn-key structural monitoring solutions to measure real loads, vibrations, dynamics, and fatigue histograms under actual operating conditions — delivering:
- Real loads, bending moments, and torque distribution
- Vibration characterisation
- Structural assessment
- Fatigue histograms and remaining useful life estimation
- Dashboard visualisation with API integration into vessel management systems
Unmanned & autonomous marine platforms. Custom structural monitoring campaigns.
To reveal what simulation cannot
- Custom measuring strategy design: supported bystructural and hydrodynamic models,
- Offshore proven lightweight, tailored instrumentation: including fiber optics, MRU, GPS, accelerometers, strain gauges,
- Real-time data capture, transmission and reporting.
- Advanced analysis: fatigue life, dynamic response, FEM and CFD model validation
- Digital twin development, allowing the integration of real-time measurements with physics-based models for predictive behavior analysis.
Data visualisation & monitoring dashboard
Our visualisationplatform presents processed sensor data, structural indicators, and alerts through a customizabledashboard —from raw signal monitoring to load distribution maps, fatigue tracking, and operational envelopes.
- Real-time data visualisation with configurable detail levels
- Structural alerts and utilisation indicators against design limits
- Load and fatigue histograms and statistical summaries
- Correlation with operational and environmental conditions
- API integration into client systems and vessel management platforms
- Cloud-based or on-premise deployment
