Hull Stress Monitoring Systems (HSMS)
Stress and strain on a ship’s hull, measured and tracked over time.
WISE Group has over 20 years of experience deploying Hull Stress Monitoring Systems (HSMS) across maritime operations, alongside Structural Monitoring Systems and Design Verification Systems.
Monitoring technology
Combining strain measurement with motion and environmental data allows stress and strain on the hull to be tracked and analysed, so potential issues are detected early and costly repairs avoided.
Strain gauges
Weldable or long-baseline strain gauges are the foundation of the system.
Additional sensors
Accelerometers, motion data and environmental sensors give a fuller view of vessel dynamics.
DADAS integration
Integrated with the DADAS software, with clear displays and an overview of vessel status to support operation and maintenance decisions.
Tailor-made and expandable
Designed to the client’s specification and operational requirements, and built to be extended as new demands, rules and regulations arrive.
Supported after delivery
Installation support, annual servicing with on-site system verification, sensor calibration arranged with the manufacturer or a certified laboratory, and personnel training.
Where to next
Hull Stress Monitoring sits in Structural and Motion Monitoring, one of six monitoring areas WISE Group delivers.
In this area: Structural Health Monitoring · Vessel Motion Monitoring · Foundation Monitoring System
Related systems: MetOcean and weather monitoring · Helideck Monitoring
Also useful: DADAS software · Sensors and instruments · Service and support
Useful to include
- The vessel and its operation
- What has to be measured, and why
- Any strain or motion monitoring already installed
What happens next
We confirm the measurements and the sensor positions.
We define the system and the DADAS setup.
You get a scope for supply, installation and service.
