Failure Analysis

When our clients’ products and/or components experience problems during testing or in the field, this can in turn set back the times-to-market or result in expensive recalls. Hire Minds Inc. and its Engineering Team is geared to offer solutions that target problems, weaknesses, and failure points to prevent these occurrences and help a client meet their expectations within the product development cycle and improve their market value.

We work to find faults and reduce recalls, warranties and delays in the product development cycle that can occur. Our approach is not one to find shortcuts or do what is sufficient – we believe in a long-term solution that works for the specific product/component being worked on to optimize its use and lifespan.

Our team of consultants has successfully worked on many projects in this domain and their experience highlights:

• In-depth CAE durability analyses on Engine components, subsystems and component assemblies
• Fatigue prevention and life estimation of components and assemblies through design simulation
• Finite Element Analysis of structures for stress, vibration, and forced responses
• Non-linear, transient response analyses of chassis and structures exhibiting non-linear suspension characteristics
• Fracture and crack propagation analysis of assemblies for fatigue reduction
• Structural frequency prediction and alignment
