Rescomp Engineering provides software and monitoring solutions for the design and in-service reliability of advanced composite components. Its FLA software predicts fatigue damage initiation and evolution in laminate parts, while its sensorless Structural Health Monitoring system detects and localizes damage events in real time using electrical methods. The tools can be used individually or integrated to optimize component performance from design through service life.

Problem
Advanced composite components are increasingly used in demanding applications, yet their complex damage mechanisms—such as delamination, fiber failure, and fatigue-driven stiffness loss—remain difficult to predict and monitor. Traditional design and inspection approaches often fail to capture damage initiation and evolution accurately, leading to conservative designs, unexpected failures, or costly maintenance regimes.
Solution
Rescomp Engineering offers two integrated tools that address composite reliability across the product lifecycle. The Advanced Design Software Suite, starting with the FLA tool, predicts fatigue damage initiation and evolution, stiffness loss, and final failure in composite laminate parts, enabling more confident structural design. The Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) System uses electrical methods to provide sensorless, real-time detection and localization of damage events such as cracks, delamination, and fiber failure during service. By integrating both tools, Rescomp delivers a unified strategy that optimizes component performance during design and ensures continuous in-service monitoring, improving safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness while reducing environmental impact.
