29 Jun 054: Airflow and Heat Transfer in Autoclave Flow and heat transfer analysis (CFD) of the air volume in an Autoclave. We completed this analysis within 3 weeks, as another consultancy contracted before were unable to provide results after 6 months. Recommendations based on our results helped to improve temperature uniformity. Posted at 11:49h in Read More
29 Jun 055: Tubular Heat Exchanger Heat transfer, stress, modal and frequency response analysis of a tubular heat exchanger. The analyses resulted in recommendations on an improved design. After implementation, a subsequent FEA confirmed that the modified design. Posted at 11:49h in Read More
29 Jun 058: Horizon Bar Horizon bar used on a naval vessel subjected to modal analysis, shock and vibration. The results helped to eliminate high stresses and avoid resonance between the mechanical system and the electronic stabilisation. Posted at 11:49h in Read More
29 Jun 034: Console Modal and transient shock analysis of a console. The modal analysis was completed as a pre requisite of the transient shock analysis, in which the console was subject to a 10g shock load. From the shock analysis it was shown that the stresses in the materials were below the yield strength, and so the design was deemed acceptable. Posted at 11:49h in Read More
29 Jun 061: Floor Panel and Floor Structure Linear static stress analysis of a floor panel and floor structure. Plate and beam elements were used to represent the geometry in the analysis. For the floor panel, a quarter model was used and for the floor structure a half model was used. Posted at 11:48h in Read More
29 Jun 064: Process Oven 2D fluid flow and heat transfer analysis of rectangular oven used for manufacturing processes. The CFD results confirmed the non-uniform temperature distribution. Recommendations were made to improve flow and hence temperature uniformity. Posted at 11:48h in Read More
29 Jun 033: Enclosure Linear static stress and modal analysis of an Enclosure design, using plate elements to represent the geometry. 2 designs were analysed, with the final design showing an increase in the first natural frequency. In both designs, the stresses due to the dead weight of the assembly were well below yield. Posted at 11:47h in Read More
29 Jun 066: Fan Casing Linear static stress analysis of a fan casing. Two designs were analysed, one being the original design, and the other being a strengthened design. Plate and beam elements were used to represent the geometry. It was found that in both models the stresses experienced were well below the yield strength of the material.

29 Jun 067: Carrier Frame for Aircraft Fuelling Drop test simulation of carrier frame assembly. The results highlighted weaknesses that subsequently had been eliminated within just one design iteration. Posted at 11:47h in Read More
29 Jun 031: Electronics Cabinet for Naval Vessel Linear dynamic analyses (modal and shock) of electronics cabinet. Based on the results, recommendations were made to reduce stresses by increasing the natural frequencies, which has subsequently been confirmed by additional analyses. Posted at 11:47h in Read More
