Firestone has internally developed and continues to improve upon our FEA tools. These theoretical models are validated with empirical data. The result is fast, accurate data that shortens our customer�s development cycle.
Our FEA is used for estimating stress, strain, damping, force, and spring rate. These air spring characteristics can be affected by: fabric type, rubber thickness, orifice diameters, piston design, etc. All of these variables and possible conclusions make accurate finite element analysis critical.
