Analyse and understand the failure of the kinematic chain of a mechanical system
Failure or damage to mechanical systems
Your expectations
The unavailability or failure of mechanical systems is a major issue for industrial manufacturers and operators, whether on fixed installations (mining and cement industry, steel industry, paper industry, agri-food industry, energy, etc.) or mobile systems (road, off-road, rail, air, naval, aerospace, etc.).
Today's economic and ecological challenges mean that we need to push back the limits of performance and ensure that systems remain in operational condition: physical performance, vibration, efficiency, thermal performance, operating conditions, control of the life cycle and lifespan.
Following the failure of a mechanical system, you want to carry out an analysis to:
- Identify the causes, origins and remedies;
- Understand the incident scenario;
- Determine the responsibilities of the parties involved (designer, manufacturer, installer, user, maintenance);
- Prevent recurrence.
- Controlling the safety of goods and people
To meet economic and environmental challenges, you want to :
- Increase the lifespan, prolong operation
- Improve availability
- Reduce energy consumption and environmental impact
Our solutions
Propose and carry out a factual, exhaustive and multidisciplinary investigation of the entire system and its kinematics:
- On-site examination of the machine;
- Take into account the history, operating conditions and environment;
- Search for optimisation levers;
- Laboratory analysis of samples or components taken in the field;
- Component testing on dedicated or customised test benches;
- Use of digital simulation to confirm damage scenarios;
- Advice and support in implementing recommendations and redesigning or optimising performance.
- Repair recommendations
