We provide engineering services for aerospace firms, performing thermal,
stress, fatigue, finite element, and failure analysis. Typical problems
of components subject to thermal transients are fatigue and distortion.
We perform high temperature design and analysis
to determine structural integrity, limiting operating conditions, and
fatigue design life. We also have extensive experience in performing structural dynamic analyses
to predict loads and responses to environments including transient, random,
and acoustic excitation.
Some of our investigations have included:
- Dynamic analysis of Hubble Space Telescope
- Structural life prediction of rocket thrust chambers
- Creep tensile instability analyses
- Failure analysis of stabilizer trim motor bearing
- Failure analysis of aircraft components
- Plastic and creep ratcheting analyses
We perform
structural optimization, minimizing component weight, resulting in low
materials cost and maximum performance.
O'Donnell Consulting Engineers offers a range of engineering expertise. To read about
