Developments in adhesive technology have opened up its use beyond the traditional composite applications. However, the existing methods for analysing this type of joint are not always suitable, resulting in inaccurate material behaviour prediction.
Frewer Engineering, believe in the benefits of developing new methods that can improve the speed and accuracy of their analysis to better serve their clients. As a result, they have developed in-house FEA tools for the analysis of bonded sections. Frewer Engineering’s method expands on traditional models, giving a more detailed insight into forces, displacements, and stress behaviour in both the material and adhesive. Furthermore, a custom post-processing script allows for faster interpretation of results and selection of relevant data.
Dedicated to the continued improvement of their services, Frewer Engineering aim to keep developing custom tools for a wide range of design and analysis applications.
