DDAM ANALYSIS OF A NAVY PRESSURE VESSEL
The finite element analysis (FEA) method called
DDAM (Dynamic Design Analysis Method) is used to
qualify Navy equipment for specific shock loading.
Using this method avoids expensive test methods.
Artech Engineering Inc provided all the necessary
documentation and FEA details to meet the detailed
requirement.

AUTOMATION UPGRADE
The assembly to the right is part of a
factory floor upgrade recently completed.
The design was intended to be installed
within an existing line of automation and
integrated within the current control
scheme. Line was started and run off with
minor issues and is now in production.

MAKING TEMPORARY ENGINEERING SERVICES PRODUCTIVE FOR YOU
After our recent economic turn down, everyone is left with a new focus on cost control. As new work comes in,
the requirement of how much and how long staff will be needed becomes hard to gauge. Hiring in permanent
staff can become difficult without the confidence the long term requirement is there. An alternate solution can
be temporary staffing or subcontracting, however, making this work for Engineering tasks requires a more
detailed management approach. Here are some tips for making the most of the investment.

has complete documentation in the proposal, reports, drawings,
and conclusions.
Ask several questions and review the project plan.
outside help. The overhead of the software cost and the
specialized training can be relieved from your budget. But above all,
the work needs to be done right.

HYDRAULIC SOLUTION FOR FORMING DIES - Artech Engineering Inc provides the detailed
Engineering for the on board hydraulic forming system. Several cylinders are used for providing a controlled
binder force in the first station of a large transfer press. Hydraulics provides a soft initial hit and eliminates
damaging reactions on the press upstroke.

SPECIAL FORK TRUCK -
Using Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
in this application has provided an
optimized structure for loading
a heat treat oven. Areas of stress
and vibration were addressed
in the simulation. Run-off in the
plant was 100% successful.

CYLINDER GUIDE UPGRADE - Multiple upgrades to various
heavy equipment components have been recently released.
This example shows an upgrade to a cylinder guide design.
The new design reduced wear with a better material match.
