Utilizing finite element modeling (FEM) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Premier NDT can provide evaluations of structures and pressure retaining equipment with complex geometries or defects.  FEA is an efficient means of evaluating stress, strain, displacement, buckling, etc. for a wide range of materials and loadings.  The engineers at Premier NDT can use these results in some of the following ways:

• Load Rating
• Pressure Rating
• Fatigue Resistance Evaluation
• Failure Analysis
• Fitness for Service
• Stress Concentration Evaluation
• Design Optimization
