Since December 2022, SAES has been participating in the dTHOR project, selected in the 2021 call of the European Defence Fund (EDF) under the category: Smart Ships, theme: Structural Health Monitoring of Digital Ships.
The project has a duration of 36 months and is being developed by a consortium of 35 entities from 9 European countries, coordinated by the Norwegian entity SINTEF.
dTHOR (digital ship sTructural Health mOnitoRing) will develop the next generation of a predictive structural health monitoring system for ships. This system is based on the innovative use of: large amounts of load and response measurements obtained from robust and advanced sensors, a digital environment compatible with recognised open standards for data exchange, and hybrid analysis and modelling, which combines physical and data-driven models.
SAES’s participation in dTHOR focuses on the areas of modelling, including the development of the ship’s vibration-noise transfer function, selection of sensors for acoustic signature acquisition, and management of underwater radiated noise.
