About us

Who we are?

Mechanalytics was founded by Cornelis van ‘t Hof, early 2019. Cornelis likes technical challenges and is eager to learn new things. He especially likes the combination of experimental and numerical or modelling work; proving the problem at hand is sufficiently well understood via a model that captures the essence of the experimental reality is very satisfactory for him. Via Mechanalytics Cornelis would like to enrich his long-term research at Royal IHC with challenges by other parties.

For whom?

Do you want to innovate but (mechanical) R&D is not your core business?

  • You need to develop more understanding of the mechanical behaviour of your products or processes
  • You may want to use different (e.g. lightweight) materials
  • Do you want to stretch the range of applicability of your products?
  • Are you hampered by limitations in your modelling tools
  • Do you need to model non-standard features?
  • Do you need experimental validation of concepts or models, but lack the testing facilities?
  • Do you need to analyse numerical or experimental results?

We have diverse experience within several industries and a broad network of research partners.
