Our extensive experience has been implemented in a number of different areas as follows:

• Investigation of complete conveyor head pulley range, in order to determine the optimal sizing of the pulleys for industrial applications. This involved the following steps:
• Linear static finite element analysis of complete range
• Non-Linear static finite element analysis of complete range
• Fatigue analysis of pulleys, in order to determine the implications of implementing this into the standard selection criteria
• Investigation of the level and effect of the residual stresses generated in the rolling process of the shells for conveyor head pulleys
• Development of a fatigue analysis system using Visual Basic for Applications in Excel
• Development of a simple calculator for the determination of the radial and hoop stresses for a thick cylinder under elastic conditions
• Static and dynamic analysis of fabricated fans
• Failure analysis of collapsed tanks
