Design Analysis of Medical Devices

Design analysis involving the modelling of components using finite element methods enables design concepts to be evaluated and design optimisation to be achieved prior to prototype manufacture, thus saving time and cost and minimising risk.

MERL provides high quality, professional finite element analysis services using ABAQUS® code.

Of crucial importance is the use of appropriate material models (stress-strain relationship). Along with our materials testing services we are able to generate material models for your materials, so that with reliable input, tailored to your requirements, you can rely on the relevance of analysis results.

For life assessment, advanced fracture mechanics methods can be applied to predict failure in polymeric components and bonded joints.
