Fatigue strength Power spectrum

Your full-service fatigue strength service provider

We provide you with full support in optimizing the service life of your products. You benefit from our predictions for wear and material fatigue, we check solution approaches and formulate actionable as well as situation-appropriate proposals for action. 

Requirements analysis

We collect customer requirements, material data, operating conditions and target service life.

Determine load spectrum

We identify and analyze static, quasi-static and dynamic loads and integrate them into a loading scenario.

Modeling and calculations

We create a mathematical model that maps and calculates the service life as a function of the load collectives, such as service life models based on Wöhler curves. Depending on the product and application scenario, we make use of methods from vibration analysis and operational vibration analysis as well as strength calculations. 

Validation of the model

We validate the model, e.g. via force or vibration measurements, to ensure accuracy and fulfillment of customer requirements. 

Interpretation

We evaluate results, develop and test approaches to solutions, and formulate proposals for action.

Lifetime optimization and troubleshooting

Know-how for an optimal cost/benefit ratio

With our fatigue strength analysis, we optimize the performance of your product with regard to the planned service life and help to avoid oversizing. This can make your product lighter or more cost-effective, for example. In the event that components do not achieve the desired service life, we identify reasons, develop and validate solutions and formulate proposals for action.

Material selection

Support for the evaluation of materials with higher fatigue strength.

Design optimization

Adjust geometry and design features to reduce stress concentrations.

Load management

Adapt operating conditions or usage patterns to reduce loads. Prominent example: load reduction through lightweight construction. 

Protective measures

Evaluate the effectiveness of coatings, gaskets or insulation.

Manufacturing processes

Support in improving manufacturing quality and consistency, e.g. through end-of-line test benches.

Do you know the fatigue strength of your product?

Describe your product or project. I will advise you on the required analysis tools and submit a non-binding offer.

Research in the context of life

We are working intensively on a wide variety of fatigue strength concepts. We are researching prediction models to improve prediction accuracy.
