contact us
We invite you to contact us for technical assistance with:

  • integrated service life prediction,
  • acquiring of root causes for material failure,
  • rigorous selection of suitable polymer based materials.

    • Our assessments are fueled by CheFEM and FEA multiphysics simulations.
    For compliance with standards and validation of simulation results, we also
    perform several laboratory tests.

    Note that our baseline analysis is free of charge and free of any obligation.
    Your information is treated strictly confidentially. Feedback within 24 hours.
    about us
    Composite Agency is an independent engineering firm for selection, service life
    assessment and failure prediction of polymer based materials, such as
    laminates, (bio) composites, coatings, membranes, seals and rubbers.
    Our key focus is:

  • Integrated FEM/FD based simulation of material behavior in real-life
       circumstances, using CheFEM in combination with existing
       FEA multiphysics software packages.

  • Replacement & Optimization of laboratory tests on diffusion, chemical
       resistance and mechanical retention. For example hygrothermal ageing,
       pressure/ thermal spiking and fatigue experiments (API/ASTM).

    • Since our establishment in 2005, we have successfully worked on worldwide
    challenging and revolutionary projects with well-established companies and
    universities (also see the tab "clients"). For some examples also see cases.

    testimonials
    “Before we performed API tests for emission and structural failure on different
    candidate materials, we used CheFEM to simulate the expected real-life behavior CheFEM definitely saved us money.”     Oil & Gas Materials Specialist

    “After a series of rigorous ageing and fatigue tests, the GRP laminate suddenly
    failed. Our subsequent analysis revealed that the failure was due to a
    combination of mechanical fatigue with chemical driven ageing.”
     Aerospace Engineer

    “The interfacial FEM simulation of mass and heat transport together with the
    quantifications of chemical potentials helped us to understand the anomalous
    permeation of chemicals through our new packaging laminate.”     
    Packaging Expert

    “Our new thin film photovoltaic required the much more rigorous understanding
    of chemical and UV driven ageing of CheFEM.”     Solar Cell Development
