Artemis Technologies —Foil Structural Monitoring
Inalia collaborates with Artemis Technologies’ hydrofoil programs, in the structural monitoring campaigns, covering the full cycle from sensor strategy definition to on-the-water data capture, data analysis and engineering insight delivery.
NEED
Measure real structural loads on the foils and vessel interfaces under actual operating conditions to validate design margins, characterize load cases, and support iterative development decisions with experimental data.
CHALLENGES
- Definition of a measurement strategy meeting the sensitivity and accuracy requirements of a high-performance foil program.
- Integration with Artemis vessel data systems and synchronisation with existing on-board sensors.
- Calibration and validation of all measurement channels prior to on-the-water operations.
- Durability and reliability of instrumentation in demanding marine conditions.
- Data analysis
- How to convert data into structural insights
SOLUTION
- FEA and CFD-guided sensor strategy and system architecture definition.
- Design of sensor architecture and layout
- Instrumentation, installation, calibration and validation.
- Real-time monitoring and data processing during testing.
- Engineering-ready data analysis outputs: statistical analysis, peak load identification, and correlation with vessel events. Final technical report with load characterisation.
