CAPABILITIES |
Structural Analysis & Engineering Structural analysis helps match material type and component geometry to the operating environment. The goal is to minimize the use of expensive materials and simplify the fabrication process. Structural analysis ensures that parts perform to the client specifications and exhibit desirable qualities, such as low weight, high corrosion resistance, and high stiffness/strength. Design Engineering Product and system engineering services are also available to review designs and perform engineering calculations to meet the requirementss of codes or standards, like ASCE, ABS, or CFR. Non-composite connection and mounting parts can be engineered for building or transportation applications to assess part performance or increase accuracy. Finite element Analysis (FEA) FEA predicts part performance based on detailed dimensions, laminate geometry, material properties, and loading data. FEA images highlight high stress areas that might require buildup or reniforcement. FEA can show large deformation effects through non-linear analysis, as well as vibration reponse through modal analysis. Modal analysis is especially improtant for transportation or marine components to help minimmze twist and mechanical vibration. Analysis results are used during desgn to arrive at the most cost effective, high performance part. Parameters incorporated into the FEA process are laminate stack design, material thickness, material type, geometry, and weight. Ply by ply results are available as an output, as well as the incorporation of common failure criteria, like Tsai-Wu, Max Layer Stress/strain, Hashin, etc. |
