Structural Analysis
Structural engineering is a field that encompasses advanced engineering concepts and demands a high level of application expertise. Our dedicated team at ITI-RCS is committed to meeting challenging requirements and delivering exceptional results. We employ a comprehensive three-pronged approach to structural analysis, ensuring the reliability and accuracy of our designs.
First, we utilize sophisticated Finite Element Analysis (FEA) techniques to predict the behavior of structures under various conditions. By simulating complex physical phenomena, FEA enables us to assess structural performance, identify potential weaknesses, and optimize designs.
Secondly, we validate the results of FEA through analytical solutions whenever possible. This rigorous process involves obtaining mathematical solutions to verify and cross-reference the predictions made by the FEA models. It allows us to enhance our confidence in the accuracy of our analyses and address any discrepancies.
Thirdly, we conduct mechanical testing to validate both the FEA predictions and analytical solutions. By subjecting physical prototypes or representative samples to controlled experiments, we compare the test results to the analytical models. This iterative process not only verifies the reliability of our designs but also enhances our understanding of the system’s loading characteristics. Consequently, we continuously improve our future analyses and refine our engineering practices.
At ITI-RCS, we prioritize safety in every design. Incorporating robust safety factors, we collaborate closely with our clients to determine acceptable risk levels and tailor our products accordingly. By considering the unique requirements and constraints of each project, we ensure that our structural designs meet the highest standards of safety and performance.
Our expertise extends to various structural materials and systems. We specialize in conducting structural analysis for composite structures, such as those made from fiberglass or carbon fiber. Additionally, we have proficiency in analyzing steel, aluminum, and plastic parts, system and connection assemblies, steel structures, and concrete structures.
Moreover, our comprehensive services encompass a wide range of analysis types. These include stress analysis, which assesses the distribution of internal forces and deformations within a structure. We also perform buckling analysis to evaluate the stability of slender structures under compressive loads. Geometry optimization allows us to refine structural designs for enhanced performance and efficiency. Additionally, our capabilities extend to vibration analysis, seismic analysis to assess structures’ response to earthquakes, and foundation analysis to evaluate the stability and load-bearing capacity of foundations.
At ITI-RCS, we are dedicated to providing reliable and cutting-edge structural analysis services, enabling our clients to make informed decisions and achieve optimal structural performance.
