Failure of bolted, welded, riveted or adhesive bonded assemblies

Understand the origin of failure for robust assemblies

Your expectations

Having experienced an assembly failure, you need an expert to:

  • Understand why your bolted, riveted, welded or bonded assemblies experience failures
  • Understand possible degradation mechanisms
  • Exploit reports to implement durable and corrective solutions
  • Receive support in setting up a repair and/or redesign protocol

Our solutions

Propose and carry out a factual, exhaustive and multidisciplinary investigation, based on all the observations and parameters relating to the failure:

  • On-site diagnostics
  • Analysis of the failure, taking into account operating conditions and the environment of the component/structure
  • Search for any design, manufacturing or implementation faults
  • Laboratory resources for validating characteristics
  • Simulation resources to confirm damage hypotheses
  • Advice and support for failure resolution and redesign

Your benefits

  • External expertise in understanding failure phenomena (objectivity of analysis)
  • An understanding of the causes and mechanisms of failure
  • Robust, proven and pragmatic solution
  • The ability to find the causes in an emergency situation
  • Cetim, independent and neutral technical centre, is a leader in the analysis of mechanical behaviour in operation
  • Support via Cetim Academy® training courses which can be customised, and which benefit from Qualiopi® certification
