Analysis of a pressure vessel for safety and earthquake loads ✍️ In this project, we have optimized a pressure vessel to fulfil the requirements for earthquake safety as defined in EN 1998-1 ISO standard as well as in the pressure vessel codes. The FEM analysis results show that the original design needs to be optimized, the legs of the pressure vessel that are in contact with foundation plates do not provide enough strength to meet displacement criteria for earthquake accelerations. The optimized model presents a good solution for the weak parts of the original design and the pressure vessel can meet defined criteria based on EN 1998-1 and AD 2000 / EN 13445 with a good factor of safety.

FEM Analysis and optimization of middle class truck chassis ✍️ In the critical parts of the front chassis of a middle class truck, we have determined the cause of the possible component failure and, proposed the optimized solutions using FEM.For this purpose, based on the geometric 3D model provided by customer and the defined load variants, we create an FE model in which the component-related behavior of the front chassis can be determined. This FE model is used to calibrate the design variations such as the front chassis geometry, strength and life time.
