Improving Manufacturing by Simulation: Processes, Microstructure & Tooling
This presentation, made at the inaugural Virtual Engineering Centre Workshop on 25-26th October 2011, provides an overview of the application of simulation to optimise manufacturing processes and determine mechanical properties that can affect in-...
MIL-217, Bellcore/Telcordia & Other Reliability Prediction Methods for Electronic Products
In today's competitive electronic products market, having higher reliability than competitors is one of the key factors for success. To obtain high product reliability, consideration of reliability issues should be integrated from the very beginni...
Implementation of ANSYS for Flexible Coupling Analysis at Bibby Transmissions
Having provided previously FEA consulting services, Wilde assisted the implementation of ANSYS Workbench technology within Bibby Transmissions through the supply of software, training and technical support. The use of ANSYS in-house has enabled Bi...
Review of Ageing Concrete Structures within the Nuclear Industry
On behalf of the Nuclear Installations Inspectorate, Wilde carried out a review in collaboration with the University of Sheffield to assess the 'state of the art' in FEA applied to ageing reinforced and pre-stressed concrete structures and make re...
Structural Analysis of a Train Gearbox Casing
Due to the complex geometry, the load paths, stresses and displacements of the casings are difficult to predict, even for experienced designers. Wilde used FEA to compare maximum stresses with yield and ultimate tensile stresses, and maximum displ...
ASME VIII Stress Analysis of a Gas Control Valve
Wilde have carried out rigorous design analysis and assessment procedures on a number of critical gas control valves for offshore applications. For each load case, the valves were assessed to the requirements of ASME VIII Division 2 Pressure vesse...
Reducing Product Development Risk with Reliability Engineering
This presentation, delivered at the NAFEMS 2010 Conference by Wilde’s Mike McCarthy, Principal Engineer, looks at how reliability engineering tools and methods can be used to reduce risk in a typical product development lifecycle. It explores how ...
