Similar to bolted joints, adhesive joints can also be taken into account in FEM models. We have chosen a modeling technique that also enables a sufficiently detailed evaluation of the stresses within the adhesive layer.

Structural Strength Analysis
We have more than 10 years of experience in working with the finite element (FEM) code Code Code_Aster for e.g. static and transient analyses with volumes, beams or shells, contact problems, bolted connections, natural frequency analyses.

Fiber composite propeller blade
Propellers with blades made of fiber composite materials (e.g., CFRP or GFRP) are flexible. During design, the deformation of the blades under operating load must be taken into account. We have developed a software solution to perform the necessary CFD simulations with fluid-structure coupling using OpenFOAM and Code_Aster.
