Structural Analysis & Design

Structural analysis requires more than just software. It requires engineering intuition and a thorough understanding of the capabilities and limitations of the different methodologies. This is the only way to correctly interpret results and guarantee accuracy. At Martec, we have performed hundreds of analyses of complicated structural assemblies, all with the requirement to confirm accuracy and validate engineering assumptions. We have the capability to identify a structural problem, select and accurately perform the required analysis, and correctly interpret the results. Across diverse industries, we have assisted clients in solving structural analysis problems, allowing them to minimize costs, reduce risk and improve performance.

Our teams of expert engineers use a variety of proven and validated engineering analysis software tools including ANSYS, LS-DYNA, SACS, ABAQUS, MSC/NASTRAN, MAESTRO and Trident FEA. Martec also has the ability to develop new software capabilities in-house to meet the specific needs of our clients. Examples of our structural analysis capabilities are:

• Structural Response Analysis: stress, displacement, vibration, dynamic, buckling
• Nonlinear Material and Large Displacement Analysis
• Material Property Evaluation and Modeling
• Fatigue, Crack Growth & Damage Tolerance Analyses
• Thermal Analysis: temperature and structural response
• Structural Testing and Analysis Validation
• Impact Analysis: Crash/Collision Simulation
• Composite Design and Analysis
• Design and Evaluation of Welded Connections
• Certification and Airworthiness
• Working Stress and Limit States Design
