What is a strength calculation?

Strength calculation is a method of assessing the ability of structures to withstand various loads without damage or degradation. This process is essential in all industries where safety and reliability are paramount. Strength calculations take into account the properties of materials, the magnitude and direction of loads and the geometry of the structure.

Strength calculations can help predict structural problems before they occur, saving time and resources in the long run. It is an essential part of product development, design and quality assurance.

Software for strength of materials calculations

Today, strength calculations are mainly carried out using various software programs that provide accurate and reliable results. These software can handle complex calculation models and simulate different loading conditions. Examples of strength calculation software are Finite Element Method (FEM) software, which allows detailed analyses of the behaviour of structures.

Software such as ANSYS, SolidWorks Simulation and Abaqus are the industry standard and are widely used in various industries. They provide users with the ability to perform static, dynamic, fatigue and thermal analyses that are critical to the design of reliable and safe structures.

The importance of strength calculation in product development

Strength calculation is an integral part of the product development process. It enables designers to make informed decisions about materials, design and manufacturing methods. Strength calculations help optimise the weight and cost of products while ensuring their durability and reliability.

Strength calculations can also be used to identify potential weaknesses in the product design and make the necessary changes before prototyping or starting production. This reduces the need for costly changes at later stages and speeds up the time to market.

Strength calculations are a key part of the engineering work to ensure the durability and safety of structures. At Hefmec, we understand that reliable calculation methods are essential at all stages of the design process. In this article, we will go through various strength calculation methods that help ensure the durability and functionality of structures.

Traditional methods of strength calculation

Traditional methods, such as analytics and empirical calculation, have been in use for decades. Analytics is based on mathematical equations and theories such as elasticity theory and fracture mechanics. Empirical calculation, on the other hand, uses existing knowledge and empirical data collected from similar projects in the past.

Although these methods are reliable, they can be time-consuming and their accuracy depends on the available data. This is why at Hefmec we have developed our processes to provide our customers with faster and more accurate calculation methods. For more information on traditional methods, see our page Strength Calculation with Hefmec – Learn the Right Methods.

Numerical methods

Numerical methods, such as the Finite Element Method (FEM), are a cornerstone of modern design. FEM allows the behaviour of complex structures and materials to be studied using computer programs. This method is particularly useful when dealing with complex geometries and loads that cannot be easily modelled using traditional methods.

At Hefmec, we use FEM analysis as part of our design process to ensure the reliability of structures and optimise their performance. FEM analysis also allows us to predict potential problem areas and make the necessary changes to designs at an early stage. Find out more about numerical methods on our Mechanical Design: a pioneer in productivity.

Experimental and testing methods

Experimental methods, such as material tests and prototype testing, are important for validating strength calculations. By testing the behaviour of materials and structures under real conditions, we can ensure that the calculation models match reality.

Hefmec experts carry out a range of tests, covering static, dynamic and fatigue tests. These tests help us to better understand the properties of materials and structures, which in turn enables more accurate and reliable calculations. For more information on our testing methods, visit our Structural Steel Engineer – A key player in construction projects.

Simulation and modelling

Simulation and modelling are modern methods that provide a comprehensive picture of the behaviour of structures under different conditions. Using advanced software, we can simulate different loading conditions and environmental impacts, helping us to predict and optimise the performance of structures.

The Hefmec team uses simulation and modelling as part of a complex design process that combines theoretical knowledge with practical experience. This integrated approach enables the management and success of even the most complex projects. Learn more about our simulations and modelling on our Hefmec: Professional Mechanical Design and Solutions page.
