Design and analysis of complex structures. Steel, concrete, composite and hybrid structures for naval, offshore, wind, solar, aerospace, defence, transport, industrial and construction applications. Long-span elements, thin-walled sections, joints and connections, special structures and components subject to demanding load conditions.

Detailed verification of joints and regions whose behaviour requires a specific study.
Mechanical verification · Joints · Detailed models.

Dynamic analysis of structures:

• Onboard equipment
• Coupled soil–structure analyses of rotating or reciprocating industrial equipment
• Shock analysis
• DDAM (dynamic design analysis method)
• Behaviour of systems under forced vibration
• Campbell diagrams, damped systems, etc.

Analysis of structures and metallic components with material non-linearities — plasticity, plastic forming, fibre-reinforced concrete, etc. — and structural non-linearities, including large deformations, contact, non-linear boundary conditions, post-buckling, etc.

Fatigue life assessment under variable loading in metals and composite components. Assessment of damage tolerance and crack propagation in damaged or defective components.
Design improvement and repair proposals.

Analysis and design of structures and components manufactured from FRP (fibre-reinforced polymer) composites. Selection of materials and processes, and preparation of test campaigns.

Analysis involving the coupling of multiple physical domains, including thermo-structural and fluid–structure interaction analyses, among others.
