Failure Analysis: We routinely review existing product designs and perform failure analysis on a specific product or failure mode. The process begins with a thorough audit of the design, including statistical analysis of critical dimensions for each key component. Engineering calculations are run for all critical cross-sections and stresses, and finite element analysis used to determine stress levels for components with complex surfaces and blends.

If necessary, dynamic and heat transfer (CFD) calculations and simulations can be performed as well. For failures that require expertise outside our realm, we outsource specific portions to qualified firms that have the capabilities required to handle the issue. In these cases, our project management and engineering design experience is the key to resolving the problem quickly and economically.
