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) |

  Failure
Investigation |
|
 The structural failure of a traction motor mounting bracket occurred
in service. Fortunately the motor was prevented from falling onto the
tracks by a cardan shaft protection ring thus preventing a catastrophe
but the issue none the less taken very seriously by our client.
|
 The animation shows how the vehicle mounted traction motor
drives a cardan shaft which drives the wheels via a bogie mounted
gearbox. |
MoreVision was brought in to devise and
implement a technical strategy that would guarantee that no further
bracket failures would occur in service. Our executive brief was:
• to determine risk mitigation actions to keep the fleet working in service.
• to develop a long term 'safe-life' solution. |
|
This project covered a period of some 18 months working very closely with the vehicle manufacturer,
the service providers, depot staff and test sub-contactors.

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. |

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. |
