Focus
on Fatigue |
MoreVision has developed a number of programs to post-process finite element
results, calculate fatigue damage and to plot damage directly onto the FE
mesh. The assessments cover code of practices used in many countries (UK -
BS7608, France -UIC 515-4 Goodman Diagram, German DIN 15 018, Swedish Volvo
standards) |

  Rotating
Machines |

Structural
engineering is a discipline with applications in many industries. Here are some
more examples of rotating machine analysis.. |

Pump
Casting Fracture Analysis |
|
 A
pump manufacturer wanted to know what size of crack/defect would be acceptable
in his impeller castings. As the impeller is spun round at very
high speeds giving it becomes subject to radial and hoop stresses. MoreVision prepared a finite element model
(shown opposite) to study the stress distribution. The finite element
stress predictions were verified by classical hand calculations.
Fracture mechanics calculations were then prepared to determine
acceptable flaw sizes for both surface defects and embedded defects.
This enabled an inspection criteria to be established which would
reduce the amount of reject material and increase the security of knowing
that all those entering service would not fail as a result of fast
fracture. |

Flywheel Analysis |
|
 This
investigation considered how much material could be safely removed
during a refurbishment of a flywheel. Consideration was given to
static strength, out of balance forces and fatigue strength.

Wind
Turbine Hub |

 MoreVision
helped Taylor Woodrow Wind Energy Group design the hub of a
horizontal axis wind turbine. This was the critical structural item
on the wind turbine. |

Partnering
Client Design Teams |
 Will it fall off? Is it strong
enough? How long will it last? These are the questions on the minds of many
designers. MoreVision can team up to perform simple strength assessments to
allow designers to move forward with the confidence that their designs will
ultimately satisfy structural criteria. |

A
fresh pair of eyes can offer an new insight into design critical
problems. |

Whenever
possible MoreVision offers fixed price contracts from the outset of a
project. |

Failure
Investigations |
|
Simply strengthening an area
may not give you the results you want and could make the problem worse.
Before a solution can even be considered it is imperative that the mechanics
of the failure are completely understood. |
