We help our clients improve their products and designs by reducing cost, improving reliability and eliminating noise and vibration.

Coupland Bell celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2007.


 
 

Concept Generation and Mechanical Design

Hydraulic mechanism

Coupland Bell works with carefully selected design companies, to provide a complete service from initial idea to final product, including Computer Aided Design (CAD) using Solidworks, conventional model-making, rapid prototyping, optimising the manufacturing techniques and sourcing the parts from proven manufacturers. We routinely solve unusual or difficult mechanical design problems. This compliments the design services, providing our clients with innovative and robust products. Our finite element analysis and flow modelling has improved performance and reduced the cost of a diverse range of products.

Please take a look at the range of new products designed by Canard Design, who work closely with us.

We have particular expertise in industrial power projects, gas turbines and other forms of turbo machinery, including marine propulsion systems, wind turbines, propellers and fans.

Recent experience 

  • Design of a wind turbine, including concept, performance and stress analysis.
  • Model testing of novel hull design.
  • Design and testing of a supercavitating marine propeller.
  • Design of steerable thrust reverser.
  • Design, stressing and overseeing construction of a variable wheelbase and chassis for an agricultural vehicle, for a client in Hereford and Worcestershire.
  • Design, stressing and prototyping of a folding inflatable structure.

 

Design Optimisation

Finite element analysis

We help our clients to produce designs that are cheaper to make, use less material and perform better. Sophistical computer methods, including finite element analysis and CFD, are used to find optimum solutions to various design problems. Standard stress and vibration analysis is also provided to our clients, giving confidence in existing designs, or helping to understand a failure.

We also help design agencies to validate and improve their new designs, by optimising materials and geometry. This achieves the best cost for production, while ensuring parts will not fail prematurely. Finite element model

Recent experience 

  • Analysing the air flow through a cleaning machine, helping our Birmingham client to design an improved model.
  • Finite element models of various steel doors for a Warwickshire company.
  • Failure analysis of a gas turbine combustor, including finite element models, leading to a successful new design.
  • Re-design of mounts for a 120 hp marine engine, removing a fatigue failure.
  • Re-design of a 6 MW diesel exhaust system in the Caribbean, removing a resonance.
