Cafeteria Seating gets a Ruggedized Re-design

Design Optimisation of ABS Plastic Products When a market leader in educational seating approached us to assess proposed design developments and optimise the design of one of their ABS plastic products, we needed to apply some lateral thinking. The ABS plastic seats were cracking around the mounting post and concern was raised as to whether different methodologies for attaching the seats to the metal posts was causing the [...]

Vibration analysis on optical laser

The Good the Bad and the Wrong One of our clients was experiencing trouble with unacceptable levels of vibration seen at optical laser used for laser interferometer. This problem was confounded by the additional requirement of a more stringent specification requirement on entering a new market. DC White were brought on board as design partners to develop a solution which would work in the new market [...]

Altoona Seismic Damper

DC White have been involved in seismic design of safety-critical structures for more than 25 years. To this end we have designed, developed and are in the process of producing a range of structural dampers, the Altoona DamperTM, which uses simple proven techniques to provide isolation and greatly increase damping of a structure - but only at the time of a seismic event. Simple yet Uniquely Effective [...]
