SIMTEC has expertise in characterizing and using the mechanical.

After determining the best law to describe efficiently the rheology of your material, we analyze its eigenfrequencies and/or its mechanical behavior under certain stresses :

• mechanical stress
  
  
• thermal gradient
  
  
• interaction with a fluid
  
  
• contact load with another piece

Such a study enables you to predict large stress areas and fracture risk with fatigue analysis.

These computations can enable optimization (least-squares or Design Of Experiments) of :

• the designs of pieces
  
  
• the choice of materials
  
  
• the life length of products

Example goals could be to minimize the failure risks, to obtain a resonant system at a given frequency or, on the contrary, to move the eigenfrequencies away, out of frequencies of utilization.
