Abstract

This paper presents a detailed study on the structural and vibration analysis of an electro-mechanical telescopic mast intended for marine radar integration. The mast, constructed using aluminium 6082 with steel rope supports, is designed to ensure reliable radar performance in harsh marine environments. The analysis focuses on assessing the mast’s structural integrity, stability, and vibration characteristics under combined environmental and operational loads. The study employs DNV 3D Beam software for preliminary strength and buckling assessment and the Dassault Systems 3DEXPERIENCE SIMULIA platform for advanced finite element modelling and modal analysis. Wind loads are calculated in accordance with IS 875 (Part 3): 2015, while ship motion-induced accelerations are derived using DNV-RU-SHIP Pt.3 Ch.4 formulations. The investigation emphasizes compliance with DNV classification standards, ensuring that the design remains structurally safe and free from resonance-related issues. The overall objective of this research is to establish a reliable analytical framework for evaluating marine mast systems subjected to complex environmental conditions and to support safe integration of radar systems on shipboard platforms.
