Aerospace

Bringing expert knowledge, years of experience and proven analysis capabilities to every project, Martec has performed hundreds of structural and airworthiness analyses on a variety of aircraft, from high performance military fighter aircraft to large transport airplanes.

Our extensive knowledge and understanding of aircraft design and certification enables us to recommend and implement cost effective and efficient repairs, designs or testing solutions for our aerospace clients. Our second-to-none experience in conducting and analyzing flight test data guarantees efficient conduct of structural flight test programs.

To ensure the best results for a given project, we use a variety of detailed Finite Element Analysis (FEA) codes (including MSC/NASTRAN, ANSYS and LS-DYNA). We offer the following aerospace services:

• Design, analysis and certification of aircraft modifications (STC, LSTC, RDC)
• TC, FAA and military aircraft certification experience
• Delegated Airworthiness Representative (DAR # 311)
• Design, analysis and repair of composite aircraft structures
• ASIP and fleet management experience
• Static, dynamic, vibration, thermal, linear and non-linear FEA analysis
• Structural testing and simulation
• Composite cure cycle optimization
• Fatigue, fracture and damage tolerance analysis
• Blast, impact and vulnerability analysis
• Shot peening and cold working impact studies
