Our skilled stress engineers can work with your engineering teams to provide stress substantiation reports to match the needs of your design groups for major interior components and modifications to primary and secondary aircraft structures, and they are able to provide damage tolerance analysis (DTA) reports that meet the regulatory requirements for certification. This consulting service goes beyond report creation; we work hand in hand with your engineering teams to assess integrity of your designs. Our role during the design phase is not only critical, but it eliminates unproductive and redundant engineering costs that occur unexpectedly during the certification phase.
The Structures team, located at our Canadian facility ACS-NAI, specializes in the analysis of a wide variety of aircraft repairs and modifications by combining traditional analytical techniques with the most advanced computer software technology available.
Our experience includes:
- Interior monument stress analysis
- Damage tolerance analysis for aircraft skin penetrations (antenna), bulkhead feed thru and other significant fuselage cutout or expansions (e.g. cargo doors, jump doors, etc)
- Analysis of high stress zones such as engine mounts, engine nacelle environment
- Analysis of avionic rack installations, crew/passenger seats (both static and dynamic)
