Finite Element Analysis (FEA)


Asset Integrity’s extensive experience in FEA, including verifying FEA techniques and predictions against field measurements, can provide you with a service that is reliable and represents the real world.

Almost any physical output (e.g displacement, velocity, acceleration, stress, strain, strain energy, reaction forces, temperature, etc) can be obtained using FEA which allows us to assess the problem and develop solutions.

To complement the modelling predictions, Asset Integrity can provide on-site data acquisition and analysis to gather the required data and provide reassurance that the risk of failure has been mitigated.


About FEA

The vast majority of failures can be prevented in the design stage of a project. Finite element analysis (FEA) allows us to model the intended design, analyse the relevant operating scenarios, and estimate the response of a system under each operating condition (e.g. static or dynamic loading, thermal loading, impact loading, etc).

Typical problems include how much stress a component can endure, whether a piping run will be susceptible to fatigue failure, or whether a steel structure has enough strength for a pump to pass commissioning. FEA is a powerful tool which allows us to tackle a wide range of problems, either in the design stage of a project, or in an operational environment.
