Bicycle Crank
This program was for the development of a very low weight titanium bicycle crank arm for high end bicycle racing applications. The stress analysis was used to compare different design alternatives to achieve minimum weight and maximum stiffness.
Bra stress and displacement
This unusual analysis was to evaluate the stresses and deflections on a specialized bra. The customer is a manufacturer of silicone implants and related items.
Locking Lever
This locking lever was a portion of a small plastic trip mechanism in an irrigation closed cased rotor sprinkler. The initial design shown multiple hot spots that were later changed to a uniform stress beam.
Drive Gear Stress and Deflection
This drive gear is a small molded plastic input gear into a gear box. It is water cooled and is critical for both stress and deflection. Analysis shown that there were no issues with the design as presented.
Cooling system thermal stresses
This is a component of a modular cooling assembly with many "cells", this single cell is being tested for stressed introduced by the large temperature gradient across the cell.
