CONVERGENCE ENGINEERING CORPORATION was founded in 1990 by two senior aerospace engineers to provide mechanical engineering design and analysis capability to small and medium sized firms. The company is built around a synergistic core of capability in stress analysis, structural dynamics, vibration, systems dynamics, heat transfer, and materials science. This highly skilled interdisciplinary team can be focused to solve engineering problems quickly and efficiently. We have our own computer hardware and software capability including sophisticated finite element static and dynamic analysis codes.

Recent examples of major Convergence design efforts include:

1) Thermo-structural design and analysis of next generation booster liquid rocket engines for the Space Launch Initiative

2) Structural/thermal design of NHRA and NASCAR engine pistons and wrist pins

3) Structural design of NHRA Top Fuel car frames

4) Hydraulic design of NHRA Top Fuel car fuel supply systems

5) Rotordynamic design analysis of large industrial centrifugal separators

6) Earthquake survivability design and analysis of network backup battery stands

7) Structural/thermal design analysis of Air Force test rocket chambers, including new graphite materials

8) Structural dynamics and component design of earthquake retrofit systems

9) Structural design of a 24 ft aircraft radome for the Navy’s E2C Hawkeye

10) Design and testing of a continuously variable bicycle transmission

11) Structural and thermal design analysis of a 1 micron rms satellite reflector

12) Design of lightweight composite semitrailers for the military and waste hauling

13) Structural design for dynamics of Space Station solar array transformers
