Vehicle analysis and assessment

Static linear or nonlinear contact finite element analysis of structures to determine: 
  • Stress ranges
  • Peak deflections

The results of the above finite element analyses can be used to assess and improve: 
  • Design fatigue life
  • Detailing to ensure adequate design fatigue life
  • Ultimate load capacity
  • Deflections to meet functional requirements
