Mechanical Engineering Calculations

At Maticon Engineering, we have over the years carried out a wide range of tasks within the design and strength calculation of metal and machine structures. Our tasks have particularly included bolted and welded steel and aluminum structures that needed to be CE-marked and comply with the safety and health requirements according to the Machinery Directive, 2006/42/EC.

Standards & Norms

In our work, we strive to follow product-related standards or norms to ensure that the construction is carried out in accordance with applicable regulations and meets the specified safety level.

Finite element calculation of lifting beam to ensure compliance with the structural and safety requirements of EN 13155 and the Machinery Directive.

We work with a wide range of recognized standards, norms, and guidelines, including:

  • DS/EN 14015, DS/EN 12285, EEMUA 159 (steel tanks)
  • DS/EN 13155 (lifting attachments)
  • DS/EN 13000 (mobile cranes)
  • DS/EN 13001 (cranes)
  • DS/EN 12999 (loader cranes)
  • DS/EN 280 (Mobile elevating work platforms)
  • DS/EN 1990, 1991, 1993 og 1999 (Eurocodes)
  • DNV regler (lifting equipment)
  • The swedish ”Cisternanvisningar” (storage tanks)

Specialists in Advanced Strength Calculation

For simple constructions, we perform strength calculations in spreadsheets using the formulas and safety factors prescribed by standards, norms, and legislation.

For more complex constructions, it may be necessary to use finite element methods (FEM/FEA) to calculate and verify the strength and stability of the construction.

We have many years of experience with finite element calculations, both for mechanical engineering constructions as well as pressure-bearing equipment and systems. We work with both linear and non-linear static and dynamic calculations, lifetime calculations (fatigue), thermal calculations, and stability calculations.
