Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in Mine Site Structural Verification

FEA is a cornerstone of modern mechanical engineering. By modelling complex structures as a mesh of finite elements, engineers can predict stress, fatigue, and failure points.
Applications in Mining
- Crusher housings subject to vibration.
- Conveyor gantries under cyclic loads.
- Slurry tanks with internal pressure.
- Chutes and hoppers exposed to wear.
Advantages
- Identifies weaknesses invisible to hand calculations.
- Supports compliance with AS4100, AS3990, API-650.
- Optimises retrofits to extend life.
FEA is now non-negotiable for safe, efficient mining operations. Trang Imagineering uses advanced modelling to protect assets and reduce downtime.
