FiReCo - Engineering

Engineering

The opportunities:

Engineered composites allow endless design possibilities. Many types of reinforcing fibres are available, and thousands of varying polymer matrix materials exist. The matrix systems can be tailored to permit the most economical processing method and the chemical environment requirements. Optimum stiffness and strength can be achieved by careful selection of fibre materials and orientation.

The challenge:

This freedom in design requires comprehensive knowledge of the materials, the manufacturing methods and structural design methods.

The solution:

FiReCo Engineering Services follows a product from infancy to its complete manufacturing specifications, and offers optimized composite design through:

An extensive material database. Material selection. Structural design. Structural analysis and verification.

Many tasks require the use of Finite Element Method (FEM) analyses. At FiReCo such tools are widely used to perform both static and dynamic, linear and nonlinear composite analysis.
