FEA Services
Project Scope
– To assess the structural integrity of the food processing equipment platform structure under given material properties, loading conditions and support conditions.
– To assess the natural frequency and mode shapes of the platform structure.
– To assess and compare the buckling strength of various leg structure designs under the design load conditions.
Project Journey & Solutions
– FEA simulation of the platform structure for analyzing the equivalent stress, max. deflection and safety factor distribution.
– Appropriate reinforcements were suggested at locations that are below the desired safety factor value in the platform structure.
– Modal analysis was performed to retrieve the natural frequencies and mode shape results at different modes.
– Buckling analysis of various leg structure designs was performed to determine the critical buckling load of each leg structure and conclude the optimal leg structure design.
Benefits to Customers
–FEA report with the design strength of the platform structure under design load conditions.
– Necessary reinforcements in the weak areas of the platform structure to avoid any accident from failure.
– Stiffening of the areas observed with high deflection under natural frequency vibrations at different modes.
– Optimal leg structure design selection to withstand the expected buckling load against the designed load.
