Structural & Industrial System Engineering Department
STRUCTURAL & INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
This department contributes to the advancement of safety assessment methods for hull structures. Its research focuses on estimating wave loads on hulls and simulating structural response and collapse. This department also conducts research on material properties such as corrosion and fatigue strength. Various experiments, including tank, structural collapse, and material tests, are conducted as part of this research.
In addition, this department is also focusing on manufacturing engineering for productivity and quality improvement in maritime industries.
