Key Areas
Determination of component and material properties
- Strength behaviour and data for various damage mechanisms
- Forced fracture
- Fatigue
- Wear
- Corrosion
- Thermal loading
- Material properties and modelling for all established strength concepts, also under consideration of environmental conditions (e.g. media, temperature)
- Nominal stress concept
- Local approach concept
- Fracture mechanics concept
- Examples for investigations:
- Monotonic tensile or torsional tests
- Fatigue tests with constand or variable amplitude loading (LCF, HCF, VHCF regime)
- Fracture mechanics tests (fracture toughness, crack resistance curve, crack growth)
- Experimental or numerical determination of component loading and deformation in service (e.g. strain measurements)
- Determination of strains, deformation and stresses (strain gauge measurements, Finite Elements Method)
- Residual stress measurements
- Determination of loading (e.g. with calibrated components)
- Derivation of loading spectra
- Counting algorithms to evaluate time signals (e.g. Rainflow counting)
- Determination of load spectra and power density spectra
- Analyzing and preparation of test signals to resuce testing times (e.g. omission techniques)
- Strength and life calculation based on all established strength concepts
- Application and verification considering the state of the art or guidelines and rules (e.g. FKM guideline, IIW guideline)
- Development of new strength calculation methods
- Survey on damage analysis
- Metallografic and fractografic investigations
- Determination of damage root
- Development and experimental verification of improvements
- Avoidance of damage
- Consulting Services
- material selection
- strength optimization
- Technical seminars on strength, material technology and damage analysis
