The Composite Analysis allows us to evaluate the strength of a structure against industry standard composite failure criteria. Rather than limiting this evaluation to a small number of load cases or steps, stresses can be assessed by using the chosen failure criteria throughout realistic duty cycles (quasi-static or dynamic). This allows critical locations, load combinations and associated design reserve factors …

To evaluate the durability of components subjected to both mechanical and thermal loads, it is important to consider the effects of creep and creep-fatigue interactions. Creep is a time-dependent deformation of a material under a constant load or stress, while creep-fatigue interaction refers to the combined effects of cyclic loading and creep deformation. The cause of failure in a component …

Developers of rubber materials, components and systems increasingly rely on simulation as a routine means to address design issues. For metallic components, solutions for fatigue analysis from FEA have existed commercially for many years and have become an essential part of maturing and qualifying design concepts in many industrial sectors. Using modern multiaxial strain based fatigue methods enable us to …

It is crucial to evaluate the fatigue behavior of welded joints as they are often critical components in various engineering applications such as automotive, aerospace, and structural engineering. Welded joints are subjected to complex loading conditions that can cause fatigue failure over time. Therefore, it is essential to use advanced numerical simulation software and methods to simulate the welding behavior …

structural vibration can lead to various issues in products, such as fatigue and durability problems, adverse reactions to users or bystanders, and safety concerns. Structural vibration is the result of dynamic loads acting on a product, causing it to vibrate and potentially fail over time. Fatigue and durability problems can arise from repeated vibration cycles that can cause cracks, fractures, …
