Advanced Engineering Analysis
In today’s highly competitive marketplace, safely and economically extending the life of existing structures and components has become increasingly important while also ensuring equipment and structures remain safe for use through the life of the asset.
Advanced Engineering Analysis
SOCOTEC's Specialty Engineering Group uses advanced tools such as finite element modeling, computational fluid dynamics and integrated design modeling and analysis to study structures and equipment in a variety of industries.
Our analyses are generally non-standard and seek a clear understanding of the behavior of the equipment or structure. The loading can vary from static and dynamic loads, to seismic, severe wind, pressurization and blast loadings. The analysis methods can include linear, non-linear to include material plasticity or crack formation, time history, or large deformation. The method of analysis is tailored to the loading and the expected behavior of the structure or equipment.
These specialized analyses require a broad view of the expected behavior and may require the integration of results from thermal hydraulic analyses, stress analysis, structural analysis, fracture mechanics, field testing, as well as operating data from the field. SOCOTEC engineers have the breadth and experience to find the best methods to solve challenging problems.
