Initial situation: You need an optimisation of the design
- Your component is already in serial production.
- The exact mechanical loads are unknown.
- The component is subject to environmental stresses (temperature, humidity, salt, etc...).
- There are cases of damage (mechanical failure, cracks, fractures).
Our solution approach
Failure analyses
Measurement campaign / sensor application, measurement of loads and responses
![](/fileadmin/_processed_/4/6/csm_pfeil_3a52a23e48.png)
Measurements during operation
Determination of failure mechanisms, derivation of possible causes of damage
![](/fileadmin/_processed_/4/6/csm_pfeil_3a52a23e48.png)
FEM analyses
Model creation & if necessary model adjustment (measured dynamic properties)
![](/fileadmin/_processed_/4/6/csm_pfeil_3a52a23e48.png)
Durability investigation
Material tests, joining technology / component tests
![](/fileadmin/_processed_/4/6/csm_pfeil_3a52a23e48.png)
Qualification loads
Generation of damage-equivalent loads, comparison with applied loads
![](/fileadmin/_processed_/4/6/csm_pfeil_3a52a23e48.png)
Numerical qualification
FEM response analyses and operational strength assessment, iterative optimisation of the design, final strength verification
![](/fileadmin/_processed_/4/6/csm_pfeil_3a52a23e48.png)
Qualification on test benches
Durability testing on the vibration test rig (earthquake test rig, HyMAS), shock tests, environmental tests (temperature, humidity, extreme conditions)
