Pump Integration, Inc. (PII) personnel have utilized their extensive experience in component modeling and finite element analysis to successfully predict the behavior of various pump components. PII personnel assisted in the development of OEM procedures to predict the structural natural frequencies of large vertical circulating water pumps, overhung bearing housings (on split case, double case and ring section pumps) and various bedplate designs.

In addition, PII has used FEA techniques to predict operational stress or strain in equipment due to both static and dynamic loading such as nozzle loads, pressure, temperature and seismic effects.

 

PII offers a wide range of Finite Element Analysis services including the following:

STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS



PII can evaluate the structural behavior of a part or assembly to any given operating conditions. After creating a three dimensional model of the part, PII can simulate the structural loads and constraints on the model, then predict the models response to those conditions. The loads can be either static (constant force or pressure) or dynamic (seismic or time dependent loads). FEA Structural Analysis can be used to design components to meet our customer's stress limits or assist in determining the cause of component failures.

MODAL ANALYSIS

In addition to determining the structural response of a part or assembly to a given set of loads and constraints, PII can calculate the structural natural frequencies of these components. FEA-Modal analysis is used in conjunction with "Experimental Modal Analysis" to assist in the resolution of field vibration problems. The 3-D model can be calibrated to match the results of the "Experimental Modal Analysis" and then modified as necessary to eliminate the problem structural natural frequencies. 

THERMAL ANALYSIS

Another tool PII has to assist our customer's with their analytical needs is the simulation of the behavior of parts or assemblies to various thermal loads and boundary conditions. This analysis can be used to determine combined stress levels in a boiler feed pump due to internal pressure and system temperature transients.
