Mechanical Integrity Analysis
Stress & Vibration Analysis
In today's competitive market place, all advancedproduct technology engineering must be optimised for minimum mass and cost, whilst maximising performance. Stress and vibration analysis is one of the major methods available to achieve this objective whilst avoiding costly and lengthy development testing.
Quadratec is able to offer a comprehensive capability in this area for most advanced technology applications using a wide variety of analytical tools, such as:
Classical Analysis and Bespoke Software- Steady State and Transient Finite Element Analysis
- Buckling Analysis
- Low Cycle and High Cycle Fatigue
- Creep Analysis
- Composite Structures Analysis
- Modal Analysis of Structures
- Frequency Response
Finite Element Analysis is undertaken using COSMOS DesignStar. This can directly read full 3D CAD models via our 3D SolidWorks CAD software and can be manipulated in SolidWorks or DesignStar to optimise geometry depending on analysis results. This leads to very rapid and cost effective design iterations to produce an optimised configuration. Typical Finite Element Analyses undertaken are:
Linear Static Analysis- Non-Linear Static Analysis
- Thermal Stress Analysis
- Fatigue Analysis
- Modal Frequency Analysis
- Frequency Response
- Buckling Analysis
- Impact Analysis
- Steady State and Transient Analysis
Rotordynamics Analysis
Rotordynamics analysis is an integral part of the wide range of products and services offered by the company. This is used extensively in the design and analysis of numerous high speed test rigs, particularly in the gas seal and turbomachinery market. Typical areas of analysis are:
- Critical Speed Analysis
- Finite Element Analysis of Supports
- Strain Energy Analysis
- Torsional Vibration Analysis
- Damping System Design
- Balance Analysis
