Biocompatibility assessments are a battery of tests performed to evaluate a product, medical device, or other material for the risk of biological hazards.
Failure Analysis in Aerospace Advancements
Home » Failure Analysis in Aerospace Advancement
In 1903, the Wright brothers made history and presented the first aircraft capable of sustaining powered flight. Flight was made possible by the breakthrough invention of pilot operated wing-warping, crafted carefully by detailed research and incredible engineering.1 This success thus resulted in the birth of the aerospace industry.
From 1903 to modern times, the industry has expanded into commercial airplanes, spacecrafts, satellites, missiles and more, consequentially resulting in increasingly more complex electronic systems. Although these technological advancements are welcomed and necessary in today’s climate, the complexities that come with development present a variety of new problems including quality and safety standards.
EAG can assist with your failure analysis needs.
In the aerospace industry, electronics are subjected to extreme environmental variables such as wide and sudden swings in temperature, strong vibrations, lightning strikes, a multitude of forces acting in different directions simultaneously, severe pressure differentials, moisture intrusion, and ionizing radiation. This can lead to potential issues with control systems, impair aircraft sensors, hinder communication systems, and even compromise structural integrity. To help solve these problems, EAG’s failure analysis experts use advanced analytical tools and proven methodologies to achieve high quality results and reliable engineering assessment.
Some examples of techniques and tools we can use:
