Applications & Simulations

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?

Multi-body contact analysis of an aircraft shear clip.

Application Focus

Are high-resolution stress or strain gradients important to you? Or, any of the following?:

  • Stress concentrations for small and/or difficult to analyze features
  • Adhesively bonded ply by ply laminated composites details
  • 3D stress intensity factors for user-defined crack geometries
  • Multi-body contact analyses of fastened joints
  • Residual stress due to cold-working process
  • Global-local analysis of airframe details
  • Customized engineering simulation apps

Chances are, we’ve seen these customer requirements before and can point you to the right place. Click on any of the images below to learn more about the classes of solid mechanics problems we can solve.

Testimonials

  • “Aerospace materials scientists and structural engineers now have a new state-of-the-art software product called StressCheck®, which provides efficient and reliable analysis tools for composite bonded aircraft structures. A composites research team from the aeronautics industry, known as the Composites Affordability Initiative (CAI), has just completed an extensive study of current capabilities in the area of failure analysis tools for composite bonded joints. This study led the CAI team to unanimously choose StressCheck® as the software tool to replace as well as radically improve existing industry standard software currently used to size bonded joints.”
