Engineering Applications

ESRD has been helping aerospace and defense (A&D) engineering professionals solve the toughest problems in strength, durability and damage tolerance of metallic and composite structures since 1989.
We developed the world’s premier high-order FEA tool, StressCheck Professional, to empower our customers to obtain reliable solutions to their challenging engineering applications.

What kinds of engineering applications are on your mind today?

Are high-resolution stress or strain gradients important to you? Stress concentrations for small features? Ply by ply composite results? 3D stress intensity factors for user-defined crack geometry? Contact stresses? Residual stress due to cold-working process? Customized engineering simulation apps?

Chances are, we’ve seen it before and can point you to the right place:

Testimonials

“Accurate and reliable stresses and Stress Intensity Factors are required for determination of static and residual strength and for crack growth analyses in analysis tools such as AFGROW. For some geometries, industry solutions are either insufficient or nonexistent. The geometry, applied forces, and crack shapes and dimensions must be modeled reasonably well to obtain useful engineering data. The p-version finite element software StressCheck (ESRD, Inc., St. Louis, Missouri, USA) is used to demonstrate how accurate finite element solutions can lead to good quality engineering analysis.”
