Pipe stress assessment for Static and dynamics due to Transients originating from rapid valve opening/closure.• Vibration, Structural Stress, Fatigue, FFS & RLA assessment for offshore package systems. A major part of the projects included Vibration Assessment and a Finite Element Analysis for the package systems to find the operating and modal behaviour of the structure, to ensure no resonance effects.• Experience in several structural projects where packages are analysed to various codes (AISC, Eurocode etc) using StaadPro incorporating various environmental conditions such as wind, seismic, FPSO motions and blast condition criteria.• Experienced in Integri-Tech, ANSYS, CAESAR II, performing Dynamic, Linear and Non-linear Finite Element assessments, FFS & RLA assessment, and Pipe Vibration and Stress assessments covering Statics, Time History, Forced Response, Vibration Response, Harmonic Vibrations, Modal and. Codes analysed to are world covering and include ANSI B31.3, 31.4, ASME VIII, PD5500, DNV, API579/ASME FFS1.• Pressure vessel analyses with Computational Flow Dynamics (CFD) using Ansys.Various analytical calculations are also employed to validate any analysis results with regular checking of co-workers calculations also required.
