testing and evaluation

Rubber product development with FEM

The use of FEM, also known as Finite Element Analysis (FEA), enables our engineers to accurately evaluate the strength and stability of our products.

Using this approach, we can evaluate various aspects of complex moulded rubber products, such as stiffness, force, deformation and more. An example is the deformation of a fender on a ship. By ensuring our products meet stringent standards, we minimise the risk of damage to ships and other applications.

Machine learning system

By testing our FEM simulations in real-life scenarios, we can feed the results back into our FEM software. By continuously feeding it more data, we can achieve increasingly accurate calculations – creating a truly self-learning system.

Cost savings

Another big advantage of using FEM calculations during the design phase is the significantly increased likelihood of a successful product. At RIS Rubber, each moulded rubber product is made using a mould, which often requires a substantial investment to manufacture. By determining the design as precisely as possible upfront and conducting test simulations with FEM software, we ensure that the mould is built correctly the first time.

This approach minimises the risk of mistakes, keeping development times and costs low. Without FEM software, there is always the potential for project delays.

Simply put, the Finite Element Method provides valuable insights during the design phase, guarantees optimal product performance and saves both time and money.
