-
Transducer design optimisation
Xi Engineering Consultants modelled and optimised a piezoelectric transducer for structure borne data transmission, delivering a robust, low risk design that works where electromagnetic communication fails.
-
Avoidance of vibration induced fatigue failure in process pipework
Xi Engineering Consultants measured and modelled vibration in a refinery agitator building, pinpointed fatigue hot spots and recommended targeted structural upgrades to protect pipework and steelwork from vibration induced failure.
-
Removing structural vibrations using simulation
Xi Engineering Consultants uses targeted measurement and simulation to diagnose structural vibration problems and design practical mitigation, protecting comfort and sensitive equipment in demanding buildings.
-
Underwater acoustic EIA modelling
Xi Engineering Consultants modelled underwater noise from a 30 MW tidal array off Islay and assessed species specific impacts, helping DP Energy secure Marine Scotland consent.
-
Simulation of smart home device
Xi Engineering Consultants simulated the smart home device’s microphone chamber, checking resonances and thermoviscous losses so the client could commit to tooling with confidence in voice activation performance.
-
Tidal turbine assessment and design
Xi Engineering Consultants built holistic dynamic models for Andritz Hydro Hammerfest’s tidal turbines, optimising designs for fatigue and resonance and reducing the need for costly offshore prototypes.
-
Warwick Acoustics: electrostatic headphones modelling and optimisation
Xi Engineering Consultants created calibrated Multiphysics models of Warwick Acoustics’ electrostatic headphone transducers, cutting prototype builds, optimising performance and enabling rapid customisation for end clients.
-
Graham Construction : vibration monitoring to protect the performance of industrial machines
Xi Engineering Consultants monitored vibration at a critical production machine while Graham Construction worked next door, providing alarms and reports that protected equipment performance without unnecessary disruption to the build.
-
Modelling power and torque requirements for low carbon motorcycles
Xi Engineering Consultants built a MATLAB based tool for Edge Mobility that turns custom motorcycle drive cycles into power and torque profiles, helping engineers size electric motors accurately and quickly.
