Experienced in structural integrity investigation in different sectors of industry

Our experience

We have years of experience in performing structural integrity investigation in different sectors of industry such as petrochemical, rail network, power plants, marine offshore and inshore structures, steel making and car manufacturing

Structural integrity

Structural integrity is vital for a structure engineer. Loss of structural integrity cause failure of the structure sometime catastrophically. Knowledge and analysis of Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics help designers, engineers and operators to envisage and avoid the failure of systems, structures and components.

Fatigue life estimation

There are three approaches to deal with Fatigue in design: The stress-life approach using nominal stress The Strain-life approach using local strain The fatigue-crack propagation approach using fracture mechanics.

Failure analysis

Failure analysis of a failed component gives us indication about the cause and helps to recommend rectification and modification of material, design, maintenance and operation.

Component life improvement

There are techniques that can increase the fatigue life of components, such as shot peening, laser peening, …

Shot peening

Shot peening introduces compressive residual to the surface by mechanical impact of small shots. Compressive and plastic layers of the surface retard the initiation and propagation of cracks which lead to life increase.

Online courses

Online bespoke short courses can be arranged, such as Design against fatigue, Fatigue analysis and etc.
