Stress-Engineering
We are specialized in the analysis and optimization of components and structures – both in metallic materials and composites. With many years of experience in static strength, dynamic strength, fatigue, fracture behavior, damage tolerance, and stability, we support you in every phase of product development.Our Expertise
Development of Robust Structural Concepts
We design well-thought-out structural concepts that serve as the foundation for successful development. A solid structural concept sets the framework for load paths, material choice, and appropriate construction methods. These decisions directly influence function, weight, cost, and risk. A smart structural concept not only enables a robust design, but also simplifies later development steps and creates space for innovative solutions.
Structural Analyses supporting Development
Already during the development phase, we assess the structural integrity of components or systems. The goal is to detect critical locations early, reduce risks, and ensure appropriate sizing. Depending on the project phase and specific objectives, we use a combination of experience (sound engineering judgment), classical calculations, numerical simulations (FEA), and physical testing.
Structural Analysis for Verification and/or Certification
Well-documented structural verifications are essential for meeting regulatory requirements and for providing robust assurance. With a focus on effectiveness and practical efficiency, we apply proven methods such as classical calculations, numerical simulations (FEA), and physical tests – always aligned with applicable standards and regulations such as FKM, VDI, or industry-specific norms. In addition to our analytical expertise, we bring deep know-how in material qualification, including the generation, statistical processing, and evaluation of reliable material data.
Structural Optimization
We optimize designs specifically for weight, load-bearing capacity, fatigue life, vibration behavior, or stiffness (e.g., through topology optimization). By integrating manufacturing processes and cost-benefit considerations from the outset, we ensure optimization goes beyond theory to deliver measurable value in practice.
Expert Reviews & Independent Assessments
We deliver independent evaluations, second opinions, and expert reports on existing analyses, designs, or in cases of incidents and damage.
