Failure of bolted, welded, riveted or adhesive bonded assemblies
Mechanical products and processes

Understand the origin of failure for robust assemblies
Having experienced an assembly failure, you need an expert to:
- Understand why your bolted, riveted, welded or bonded assemblies experience failures
- Understand possible degradation mechanisms
- Exploit reports to implement durable and corrective solutions
- Receive support in setting up a repair and/or redesign protocol
Propose and carry out a factual, exhaustive and multidisciplinary investigation, based on all the observations and parameters relating to the failure:
- On-site diagnostics
- Analysis of the failure, taking into account operating conditions and the environment of the component/structure
- Search for any design, manufacturing or implementation faults
- Laboratory resources for validating characteristics
- Simulation resources to confirm damage hypotheses
- Advice and support for failure resolution and redesign
- External expertise in understanding failure phenomena (objectivity of analysis)
- An understanding of the causes and mechanisms of failure
- Robust, proven and pragmatic solution
- The ability to find the causes in an emergency situation
- Cetim, independent and neutral technical centre, is a leader in the analysis of mechanical behaviour in operation
- Support via Cetim Academy® training courses which can be customised, and which benefit from Qualiopi® certification
