Enhancing Safety with FEA Modal and Seismic Analysis

Performing FEA Modal and Seismic Analysis is crucial for evaluating the structural performance of assemblies under dynamic conditions. Engineers rely on Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to predict stress distribution, identify weaknesses, and optimize designs to withstand seismic events and vibration loads. By utilizing advanced tools like ANSYS, we conducted comprehensive analyses on pipe cages, building frames, and various mechanical assemblies, ensuring safety and reliability.

Assessing Stress in Pipe Cage Models

In one application, we performed FEA Modal and Seismic Analysis on a pipe cage model subjected to simulated seismic conditions for seismic zone 4. This evaluation aimed to determine stress concentrations when the piping operated independently, without connections to CDU modules. Furthermore, this analysis provided critical insights into structural responses, allowing us to pinpoint areas prone to failure. By addressing these concerns, we proposed targeted design reinforcements to enhance the model’s performance under earthquake conditions.

Evaluating Building Frames for Seismic Resilience

Similarly, we conducted seismic stress analysis on the building frame structures of a small indoor store. This assessment included predicting maximum stress, deflection, and safety factors under various seismic loads. By incorporating an Ss value of 2.345, representative of conditions in San Bernardino, CA, we verified the frames’ ability to withstand the largest seismic loads across the US. Consequently, this ensured compliance with regulatory standards and reinforced the structural integrity of the frames.

Optimizing Mechanical Assembly Performance

In another project, we carried out vibration frequency sweep, endurance, and shock analyses on a pedestal model. This analysis determined the model’s operational capability under a 25G shock event with a 30ms pulse duration and multi-axis vibration loads. Additionally, a controller assembly comprising circuit boards, housing covers, and brackets was analyzed for vibration and shock resistance. These evaluations offered valuable insights into design improvements, ensuring long-term reliability and durability in demanding environments.
