HLA Engineers, Inc. has over
20 year experience performing analyses of difficult problems using elastomers. These problems are challenging not only due to the complexity of
the application, but also due to the unique mechanical properties of the
elastomeric material. Accurate solutions require experience with the
elastomeric material, and with developing an accurate analysis.
HLA Engineers, holds several
design patents related to the application of elastomers in laminated
bearings used in helicopter rotor blade retention systems, and tension leg
retention systems for offshore tension leg platforms.
In addition to
our extensive experience in the design and analysis of rubber components, we
have provided assistance in trouble shooting - debugging rubber
manufacturing processes and rubber failures in the United States, China, New
Zealand, Australia, and Norway. We have extensive experience with numerous
finite element programs to analyze rubber components.
