Stress analysis

Structural mechanic analysis is unavoidable for the optimisation of components. The relative analysis is a precondition for the weight reduction, the increase of reliability, life and safety. We dispose of a considerable experience in various industries, such as the rolling stock industry, the space industry and in the medical technology.

The main profit for the customer is our knowledge of boundary conditions, the standards, the load assumptions and the material properties.

Scope of supply:

• linear und non-linear stress analysis
• analysis of contact properties
• stability analysis
• crash analysis
• special knowledge in the fields of plasticity, of elastomers, compound materials and of the melting processes.

Fatigue analysis

The prediction of life of a component or a subsystem is the precondition of competitiveness in the rolling stock industry. We are proficient in the methods for the life calculation of components and subsystems and know not only the pertinent standards but also the prescriptions of the train operators. Your profit as customer from our vast experience in many projects and from the measuring data gained in test campaigns.

Scope of supply:

• Life analysis of components
• Fatigue analysis
• Fracture mechanics

Stability analysis

The knowledge of the calculation methods for stability problems such as the bulging of plates or the buckling of slim parts is a precondition for the correct dimensioning of components. Since years we are using the finite element method to analyse these stability problems. You profit as our customer is lying in our detailed knowledge of methods and theory as well as in post-buckling problems.

Scope of supply:

• numerical stability analysis
• analytical stability analysis
