Realisation and demonstration of advanced material solutions for sustainable and efficient ships


  • Start: 01/06/2017
  • End: 31/05/2021


The RAMSSES project will foster the use of new materials in real applications, proving full technical and economic feasibility of the solutions for maritime use. AIMEN will work in technical assessment to evaluate mechanical and environmental characteristics. In addition, AIMEN research will focus on welding procedures and weld post-processing techniques (friction stir processing, over-lamination) to improve quality and increase fatigue life of welds in design details made of different high tensile steels. Another major objective of the project is based on the development of composite reinforcements for critical areas of the structure. AIMEN will participate in the product design assisted by simulation tools based on FEA and assist with the process specification and characterization for the surface preparation and adhesive joint.
