KRP combines the know-how of mechanical and thermal tests and analyses under one roof. This allows the theoretical and experimental results to be interpreted and verified and solutions to problems to be developed together with the customer. Thanks to the corresponding engineering expertise, these solutions can often be implemented directly and then evaluated.
We offer:
- model adaptation to necessary level of detail
- multidisciplinary analyses
- optimisation for critical elements like mass reduction, shock and dynamic responses, specific load cases and manufacturability
Our Methods:
• FEM (implicit and explicit)
• analytical methods
• numerical simulation
• handbook-based methods
Structural Dynamics
• Modal analysis
• Transient analyses (structural response to arbitrary transient excitations, linear/non-linear)
• Computation of transfer-functions (structural response to harmonic excitations)
• Computation of shock-response (determination of structural response to shock-/impact loads)
Static Analyses
• Static FEM analyses
• Strength analyses
• Stability analyses
• Linear and non-linear analyses
• Analyses of composite structures
• Implementation of custom specific failure criteria
Thermal Analyses
• Static and transient analyses (temperature distribution, heat flow)
• Evaluation of the thermal balance of active and passive components
• Design optimisation based on many years of experience and numerical methods
• Abstraction and implementation of complex thermal boundary conditions in mathematical models
Thermo-Elastic Analyses
• Experience in analysis of thermo-mechanical problems like liquid-cooled structures
• Consideration of temperature dependent material properties
Electro-Magnetic Analyses
• FEM Analysis of the mechanical reaction due to electromagnetic loads as induced by disruptions at fusion experiments
• Verified multi-level analysis sequence
