Vibration Testing of Complex Structures
Element and Rolls-Royce have joined forces in a unique collaboration to offer their vibration services to a wide range of industries from aviation and automotive to rail and oil and gas.
Multiaxial Fatigue Analysis
Through the Rolls-Royce and Element partnership, the team of engineers is now providing high-quality multiaxial testing capabilities, using state-of-the-art technology supported by unique in-depth expertise, to manufacturers across multiple industries.
Using Failure Analysis to Manage In-Service Occurrences
When an in-service occurrence takes place, it is therefore vital that the reason behind how and why a material or product has failed is established as quickly as possible, and a solution is found and put into place without delay.
