Plan Review

Skilled ABS engineers review design plans of ships, other marine related structures, electrical and piping systems, engines, generators, steering gear, propellers and other major machinery components to verify compliance with ABS Rule requirements.

ABS now provides technical review services electronically through the ABS Plan Approval System, allowing for drawings to be submitted electronically with a comprehensive web based support structure for engineers to review and address technical issues associated with your project.

Advanced Analysis

This group supports the effort of ABS engineers and clients where the needs require sophisticated analytical skills beyond those normally applied. Using such techniques as fracture mechanics the Advanced Analysis group performs damage investigation and other complex engineering studies.

Through Finite Element Analyses and other sophisticated methodologies it supports the efforts of ABS engineers in their design review work as well as ABS R&D studies.

Engineering Analysis

In support of vessel design review, ABS offers a wide number of engineering analyses. A partial list includes:

  • structural analyses
  • finite element analysis
  • stress analysis
  • thermal stress analysis
  • vibration prediction studies
  • fatigue and fracture mechanic analysis
  • Rule scantling analysis
  • buckling analysis
  • hull girder analysis
  • environmental loading and hydrodynamic analysis
  • design load prediction
  • seakeeping and motion studies
  • springing and slamming studies
  • sloshing analysis
  • wind loading analysis
  • grillage analysis
  • Machinery Analyses
  • pressure vessel analysis
  • tank support analysis
  • crankshaft analysis
  • short circuit analysis
  • coordination study
  • flange analysis
  • thermal stress analysis
