Globas - Static

Static strength shows the ability of a material to resist externally applied forces without breaking or yielding. It becomes especially important when required to assess the stress resistance of parts or the whole product. During static strength calculations two main things usually are important for engineers: * distribution of stress components over the volume of structural elements. Based on these data, it is possible to draw conclusions about the most vulnerable parts of the structure and, at the design stage, optimize the product in order to achieve uniform strength; * maximum values of stress components in the material. Based on the performed static strength calculation, the engineer can estimate the reliability of the structure in terms of its strength and ability not to collapse under the action of loads applied to the system.

With the help of unique solvers and the necessary competencies, our engineers are ready to perform static strength analysis tasks, inlcuding:

linear statics – calculation for strength, determination of deformations, stresses and forces in elements, safety margins;
stability of structures – calculation of external (critical) forces under which the structure loses its stability;
analysis taking into account geometric and physical nonlinearity – the ability to take into account the finite nature of displacements and rotations, as well as the nonlinear properties of the material (nonlinear elastic, plastic);
contact tasks;
natural frequencies and forms – analysis of free oscillations of the structure;
dynamic harmonic and random response – assessment of the behavior of a structure under external polyharmonic or random loading;
strength and dynamic analysis of the interaction of an elastic structure with a medium (liquid or gas);
stationary and non-stationary non-linear thermal processes – determination of the distribution of heat flows, analysis of temperature fields and deformations;
dynamic transient processes – calculation of the bahaviour of a structure in time when non-stationary external load acts on it;
determination of the sensitivity of the analysis results (stresses, displacements, natural frequencies, etc.) to changes in design parameters (thicknesses, cross-sectional characteristics, etc.); with this information, the designer can effectively improve his project.
