Composite Materials
The effective application of composite materials to the engineering design process requires a thorough understanding of material properties, manufacturing processes and analysis methods. We use simulation to model the behaviour of composite materials under various loading conditions, allowing for precise customisation of material properties such as directional strength, flexibility and durability. This leads to the creation of lightweight, high performance composite structures and components ideal for innovative and advanced applications in industries such as aerospace, transport and marine. Additionally, simulation enables the identification of potential issues and refinement of designs before physical production, improving product quality and maximising service life.
Our engineering experience with composite materials extends to:
- FRP composite structures (incorporating sandwich and core materials) for transport, marine and aeronautical applications.
- FRP pressure vessels.
Engineering Design
Analysis driven design solutions that minimise capital and operating costs and maximise service life.
Advanced Simulation
Leading edge engineering analysis accurately visualises and quantifies problems leading to the development of optimised solutions.
Vibration & Fatigue Analysis
Correlating measurement with virtual testing allows vibration issues to be identified and fatigue life to be determined.
