Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

Finite element analysis (FEA) is a computer-based method of simulating the behaviour of physical systems under various conditions. FEA can be used to test and optimize the design, performance, and reliability of products, structures, and materials. FEA can also help to reduce the cost and time of physical testing and prototyping.

FEA services in rotating equipment provide valuable insights into critical components’ structural integrity, performance, and reliability. By leveraging advanced simulation techniques, engineers can optimize designs, reduce the risk of failures, and ensure the efficient operation of rotating machinery in various industries.

Dynamic Analysis

FEA is employed to conduct dynamic analysis of rotating equipment, such as pumps, turbines, or rotors. It involves studying the response of components to varying loads, including centrifugal forces, vibrations, and rotational speeds.

Stress and Fatigue Analysis
FEA helps evaluate the stress distribution in rotating components, such as shafts and blades. This includes assessing potential fatigue issues arising from cyclic loading and ensuring the longevity and reliability of the equipment.
Rotor Dynamics

FEA is utilized to study the behavior of rotating shafts and associated components, analyzing critical factors like natural frequencies, mode shapes, and stability to prevent resonance and ensure smooth operation.

Bearing Analysis
FEA helps assess the performance of bearings within rotating equipment. This includes studying the contact stresses, deformation, and thermal effects to optimize bearing design and prevent premature failure.
Thermal Analysis
FEA is applied to assess the thermal effects in rotating equipment, especially in components that experience temperature variations during operation. Thermal analysis helps optimize cooling systems and prevent overheating.
Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI)

In cases where rotating equipment interacts with fluids, FSI is employed to study the impact of fluid forces on structural components. This is relevant in applications like pumps or fans where fluid dynamics influence structural behavior.

Vibration Analysis
FEA aids in analyzing and mitigating vibrations in rotating machinery. By studying the dynamic response of components, engineers can identify potential vibration issues and implement design modifications to reduce or control vibrations.
Failure Mode Analysis

FEA assists in predicting and preventing failure modes in rotating equipment. Engineers can identify potential failure points by simulating different operating conditions and implementing design improvements to enhance reliability.
