Ever had a component fail for an unknown reason? Are you over-reliant on FEA in your designs? Our comprehensive experience as a Mechanical Engineer and intrinsic knowledge of materials and failure mode effect analysis (FMEA) means that we are in an ideal position to help determine the true root-cause of the issues you are experiencing.

With greater reliance being based on "blindly applied CAE", there are far-more errors being  "designed into" components with an ignorance of what has been learnt before. NAFEMS, the Engineering Modelling, Analysis & Simulation regulator, recommends that hand calculations be undertaken long before computer analysis is considered. With hand calculations now becoming a rarity, increasingly, anomalies are going unnoticed until failure occurs.

In addition an enormous amount of design is unproven mathematically. These 'empirical' designs can result in premature failure as the design does not take into account the actual loads that are experienced in use.

With a strong background of design in high-risk, safety-critical environments, we are ideally suited to be your development partner, ensuring reliability and safe-fail being incorporated into the designs that you produce.

We can help with statics and dynamics; hydraulics; pneumatics; high-vacuum; galvanics; corrosion; lubrication & wear (tribology); materials selection; crack-propagation; brittle and plastic failure; loading; and a plethora of other fields, including structural and LV Electrical. Just give us a call to discuss your experiences or requirements.

If you call us for a consult and we cannot help, there is no charge!

You may not have the expertise for hand calculations in-house. Or you may simply wish an independent verification be undertaken as a Quality Assurance exercise.

Either way, make us your first choice.

We can provide an independent expert witness service for any issues - within our expertise - that you may have. This can be anything from an independent assessment or a complete legal report.

Should you have need of such a service, please do contact us for a completely confidential discussion on your requirements.

Please do contact us for a completely obligation free chat to discuss your requirements and what we can do to help.

We can help you drive your business forward with impetus!
