Engineering Design and Certification
Our multidisciplinary engineering and design team addresses a variety of engineering challenges. From the simple and straight - forward to the complex and layered. DEC-MECH offers an optimised service to cater to clients engineering needs.
DEC-MECH specialises in projects that are deemed "too hard" or "too time consuming". We leverage both traditional manual engineering methods in conjunction with modern computational analysis to solve virtually any problem faced by clients.
We actively seek out the best tools to solve our clients problems. Therefore, our capabilities are constantly growing and improving.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
DEC-MECH can analyse mechanical components, structures and materials through the use of finite element modelling tools, in conjunction with different modelling and analysis softwares.
DEC-MECH can perform the following types of simulation using FEA:
- Stress, strain and displacement modelling resulting from static loads
- Transient response and vibration modelling from dynamic excitation
- Temperature, stress, strain and displacement modelling from thermal loads
- Prediction of cycle time for fatigue crack initiation and propagation from dynamic loads
Below are some examples of previous analysis work that DEC-MECH has delivered:
- Pressure vessel and static tank analysis
- Steel supporting structures
- Roll over protection systems (ROPS) for mine vehicles
- Torsional loading and stress prediction in tubular space frame for road-worthiness
- Bending simulation and stress check of draw bars for cane haul out bins, dog trailers for trucks and caravan draw bars
- Lifting equipment
- Truck chassis and suspension systems
- Pipe supports and flanges
- Storage facilities and conveying units
We are constantly adding new simulation capability to fulfill our clients demands as part of DEC-MECH's commitment to continuous improvement.
