The main objectives of the Maritime Technology group are to develop methods and models applied within the maritime and offshore wind fields. The focus areas are cost and energy efficient offshore wind structures, sustainable operation of ships and naval architecture with special focus on energy efficiency, vibration and fatigue. The research takes its methodological offset in the technical science, but the group also aims at creating interdisciplinary research.
Co-operation
We provide collaboration with the maritime industry through research projects and research-based consultancy. We ensure that research results flows between the university, industry and non-research-based higher educations.
Maritime Technology is dedicated to exchanging knowledge, expertise and competences with society and authorities through our participation in advisory boards, technical networks and committees.
ShipWeldFlow
Digital Twins for robotic unit welding analysis and optimization in ship production.
SDU Mech is in involved in Work Package on: Process simulation models for robotic welding of large marine structures for prediction of deformations and residual stresses. The welding simulation model will be developed to optimize the welding sequence of complicated multi-panel structures.
Partners in project: SDU Robotics (Leader), Odense Maritime and Inrotech.
ShipWeldFlow is a Grand Solution funded by Innovation Fund Denmark and coordinated by SDU Robotics. Read more here
Project period: 2020 to Marts 2024.
BlueSDU - a cross-disciplinary research network:
Blue SDU is an interdisciplinary research network unifying maritime and marine researchers at SDU. The network was established in 2014 and the members are researchers from 9 different SDU departments across 5 faculties.
