Finite Element Analysis
Static, dynamic, implicit and explicit analysis, ALE analysis, ConWep analysis,
explosion analysis and elasto‑plastic analysis, primarily in LS‑DYNA but also in
ANSYS and NX Nastran.
Shock, SRS & PSD Analysis
Shock response spectrum (SRS) analysis, half sine or sawtooth shock loads, and
power spectral density (PSD) analysis of random vibration, both tailored to
MIL‑STD‑810H, AECTP‑400 or other military standards for military equipment.
Test Execution
Test campaigns built on MIL‑STD‑810H, AECTP‑400 or internal company standards, including SRS
shock levels, half sine or sawtooth shock‑time load profiles and PSD vibration profiles,
can be executed in‑situ or on shaker tables.
Structural Measurement
Structural assessment using accelerometers to determine shock levels and
eigenfrequencies, and strain‑gauge measurements to determine stress levels in the
structure, carried out using HBK equipment. This can be combined with many other types of
sensors, such as pressure sensors, temperature sensors, GPS signals, displacement sensors
and rpm measurements.
Test Planning
Defining relevant tests and determine the test sequence, selecting the shock‑time and PSD
profiles each test requires, and determining accelerometer and strain‑gauge measurement
points, all tailored to MIL‑STD‑810H, AECTP‑400 or internal company requirements.
Everything is planned and documented before the test campaign.
Design & Fabrication
Design in SolidWorks, Siemens NX and Autodesk Inventor, informed directly by our own FE
analysis, shock and vibration results, so designs are refined for structural performance
from the first concept. Prototypes and fixtures are manufactured in our own workshop,
allowing fast iteration between design, analysis and physical testing.
