Areas of Analysis Expertise
RTJ Consultants have a wealth of knowledge related to structural analysis from decades of industry experience. We would be happy to discuss a tailored solution to meet your requirements.
Traditional Analysis
Traditional methods are non-FEA based. RTJ Consultants understand and implement well established analysis methods via decades of experience in industry. These are generally much faster to implement and often used in unison with FEA or during design sizing activities.
FEA Simulation
Building an FEA model is simple. Building one that accurately simulates correct behaviours is not. This is where RTJ Consultants vast experience in this field will save you time and money. We ensure that all FEA models we generate are fit for purpose and adequately validated.
Automation
RTJ Consultants’ mantra is "work smarter not harder". We are experts at identifying areas where automation or improved processes can be used to improve repeatability or efficiency. Be it Excel data tables, VBA macros, python tools, FEA macro scripts or full C++ software, we can build a package to suit.
Metallic Structures
Often the backbone of most companies. Be it aluminium, steel or titanium we have the knowledge to ensure your product meets strength and performance targets. From static analysis to fatigue and damage tolerance life assessments, RTJ Consultants are here to help.
Composite Structures
From carbon fibre and glass fibre to sandwich panels, the material combination choices for composites are endless. RTJ Consultants are experts in traditional and FE based analysis of these materials. From static analysis to complex non-linear mechanical-thermal analysis, we have you covered.
New Designs
Do you have a new design? Embed RTJ Consultants into your workflow and allow us to take the stress out of structural and performance analysis. We can develop load cases from requirements, perform required analysis, iterate and optimise, determine testing requirements and post process test results and of course produce high quality reports to meet your certification needs.
Repairs
RTJ Consultants have industry experts in the field of design and substantiation of repairs. From patching damage, replacing components or assessing residual strength or life, we are here to support.
Modifications
Often access to the design data of a product you are modifying is limited. RTJ Consultants are experts in establishing limits and integrity values, to ensure that your design does not detrimentally affect the structural or functional requirements.
Test Requirements
Need to develop allowables data for a new composite or provide product level full testing? RTJ consultants can develop test requirements for the whole pyramid of testing from coupons to full assemblies. Our experience and knowledge can then post-process and validate test results be it for allowable generation, FEA verification or requirements validation.
