Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
FEA is performed with a composite material layer analysis tool to analyze the deflection, vibration, and stress of the carbon fiber structure.
Layer analysis is capable of:
- Showing layer patterns (parallel, cross)
- Analyzing the deflection and stress within individual layers
Deflection test
- Performed after the carbon fiber layup and baking process
- Compares theoretical and physical deflection test data
Accelerometer test
- Performed while the crossbar is in working condition to collect vibration and deflection data
