Analysis & Physical Testing
Offering rigorous analysis and comprehensive physical testing to deliver quality products and services.
We provide solutions for some of the world’s largest companies
Finite Element Analysis
Alongside our wealth of experience, we routinely perform in-depth analysis utilising powerful LS-DYNA and Genesis software. This service allows us to deliver rapid and dynamic analyses, leading to a more refined, proven, and optimised solution.
Our complex analysis can include:
- Stress/Fatigue Analysis
- Kinematic Analysis
- Static & Dynamic Simulations
- Roll Over & Falling Object Protection Systems (ROPS/FOPS) Deformation
- Seatbelt Anchorage Testing
- Durability Assessment
- Frontal Impact/Crash Testing
Our expertise in FEA ensures appropriate boundary conditions, mesh density and considered use of beam versus shell elements, to provide the optimum balance between efficiency and accuracy. Having conducted numerous physical tests over the years, our analysis incorporates an extensive calibrated material library to establish correlation with physical material behaviour.
Physical Testing
Our physical verification processes include extensive destructive testing, subjecting our designs to extreme conditions in order to validate prior analyses and ensure optimal safety and performance.
We have supported various projects through facilitating:
● Frontal Impact Testing
● Seatbelt Anchorage Testing
● Dynamic Roll Over Testing
● Static Roof Crush Testing
● Durability Testing (incl. battlefield mission)
● Falling Object (FOPS) Testing
