Given advances in computer technology, it is now feasible to create highly sophisticated models of structures and materials.  A key component of Quest Reliability’s suite of service offerings is our unparalleled expertise in computational mechanics.  Computational mechanics is an interdisciplinary field in which mathematical models and numerical procedures are used to characterize a complex mechanics problem that is analyzed using digital computing to arrive at solution.  Our staff is highly proficient in applying cutting-edge computer simulation technology to practical problems.

Stress Analysis and Finite Element Analysis
Stresses and temperatures within a structural component can be determined with a computer simulation method called finite element analysis.  Quest Reliability, LLC has substantial experience with finite element analysis of a wide range of structural components in a variety of industries.

Fracture Mechanics Simulation
Fracture mechanics simulation entails highly advanced and robust modeling of complex cracking problems.  This approach removes many of the simplistic assumptions that are typical of standard fracture mechanics assessments.
