Test based finite element analysis of wire meshes

Abstract As fish farming is becoming more and important worldwide, this ongoing project aims at the simulation test-based analysis of highly stressed wire contacts, as they are found in off-shore farm cages order to make them reliable. The quasi-static tensile test a mesh provides data for construction finite element model get better understanding behavior high-strength stainless steel from which made. Fatigue tests provide new insights that used an adjustment predict probability possible damage caused by heavy mechanical loads (waves, storms, predators (sharks)).
