Structural integrity combines key performance parameters of products or structures. These directly impact overall weight and cost, lifetime and warranty cost, operational availability, safety, and customer comfort and satisfaction. Designing a durable and dynamically stable product or structure is becoming more challenging with the increased use of lightweight materials and more simplified.

To meet these engineering challenges to enable manufacturers to get to market faster and with the most reliable overall design, HBK provides an integrated suite of easy-to-use, perfectly harmonized toolset combining failure modes (FMEA), FEA-based lifetime simulation, data acquisition and analysis in physical testing, as well as real-life operation reliability analysis. Gain insights from all validation steps to make the right-first-time decisions in structural design through to use in operation.
