Expert FEA Engineering Consultants for Vibration Analysis & Solutions
Welcome to our FEA Engineering Consultancy for Vibration Analysis
With close to 30 years of experience in FEA engineering, we specialize in solving complex vibration problems through Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Our deep expertise and proven track record ensure that we provide our clients with reliable, accurate, and efficient solutions for a wide range of vibration-related challenges.
Our Expertise in FEA Vibration Analysis
We have a diverse portfolio of successful projects that demonstrate our capabilities in FEA vibration analysis across various industries, including automotive, aerospace, telecommunications, oil and gas, and industrial equipment.
Some of our key projects include:
What is Finite Element Analysis (FEA)?
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a mathematical method used to predict how a product will behave under real-world conditions. FEA divides a complex structure into smaller, simpler elements, allowing engineers to perform detailed simulations of physical phenomena, such as vibration, stress, heat transfer, and more.
While FEA models can provide valuable insights, the accuracy of the results depends on the assumptions made during model setup, including boundary conditions, material properties, and geometric details. This is where our expertise comes into play. We combine FEA with real-world data, such as experimental modal testing and field measurements, to ensure that the model accurately represents the physical system and provides actionable insights.
Why Choose Environmentally Sound as your FEA Engineering Consultants?
Experience and Expertise
With over 28 years of hands-on experience in FEA vibration analysis, we possess the knowledge and skills to solve even the most complex vibration challenges. Our work includes both the creation of detailed models and the updating of those models based on experimental data, ensuring the most accurate and reliable results possible.
Comprehensive Vibration Solutions
We use FEA to model, analyse, and optimise product designs. Our approach often involves combining FEA with experimental modal analysis (EMA), operational deflection shape (ODS) measurements, and vibration testing to ensure our models accurately replicate the physical system. This iterative approach results in designs that are optimised for minimal vibration and improved performance.
Tailored Solutions
Every vibration problem is unique, and we provide tailored solutions based on the specific challenges our clients face. We work closely with our clients to fully understand the problem, offering custom solutions that improve both performance and cost-efficiency.
Is FEA Results Reliable?
Finite Element Analysis is a powerful tool, but its reliability hinges on the quality of the assumptions and the expertise of the FEA engineers behind it. While FEA software simulates physical systems, the design and interpretation of the results must be carried out by experienced engineers. Our team’s extensive background ensures that our FEA models are accurate and that the results are used to inform effective solutions.
Our process often involves validating the models using experimental data from physical testing - model updating, such as modal analysis and vibration measurements, to refine the FEA model and ensure that it closely represents real-world behaviour.
Vibration Analysis Case Study: Recycling Plant
One of the most illustrative examples of our approach involved a recycling plant with soil sieving screens. These screens oscillated at a specific frequency, causing vibrations to propagate through the entire structure. The vibration issue was traced back to the anti-vibration (AV) mounts, which were stiffer than specified in the design, transferring vibrations from the screens to the frame.
By conducting a thorough vibration analysis in Abaqus and measuring the structural vibrations on-site, we identified the root cause and updated the finite element model to reflect the real-world conditions. We recommended a new AV mount design that decoupled the screen oscillations from the structure, significantly reducing vibrations and improving operational efficiency, and safety for the operators.
What Our FEA Engineering Consultants Do For You
We begin by thoroughly understanding your vibration issues through a combination of FEA modelling, experimental analysis, and on-site measurements. Our iterative approach ensures we develop accurate models, allowing us to provide the best solutions for vibration isolation, control, and optimisation. Our goal is to deliver:
Accurate, Data-Driven Results: Using a combination of FEA, experimental testing, and field measurements.
Optimised Designs: Through structural and vibration analysis, we help design products and systems that perform optimally with minimal vibration.
Cost-Effective Solutions: We ensure that our designs and recommendations are both effective and financially efficient, helping you save costs while improving product performance.
