Static Analysis of a Service Pit for Rail Vehicles

Service pit - Buckling analysis results

Analysis: FEA, Static Analyis, Linear Buckling, ANSYS

Objective: For a load bearing capacity and serviceability assessment a detail static analysis of a service pit for rail vehicles was performed.

Stress Analysis and Fatigue Live Prediction of a Disc Brake System

Numerical model of disc brake

Analysis: FEA, Stress Analysis, Low Cycle and High Cycle Fatigue, Contact Analysis, ANSYS

Objective: Within the scope of an innovative vehicle brake system development of a non-linear static contact analysis of a brake assembly (250+ parts) was performed. Based on the assessment of the low-cycle and high-cycle fatigue few design changes were adopted, which eliminated potential problems limiting the fatigue design life before the manufacture of the prototype and its testing.
