Advanced Analyses for Extreme Events
When extreme events happen, you need to be prepared. We analyze structural response to extreme events to quantify vulnerability, identify risk and design mitigation methods.
Lead Contacts
Conventional and improvised explosive devices, and even nuclear weapons. Cratering and ground shock. Underwater or in-air explosions. Impact and penetration. Progressive collapse. Fire. Our experts can analyze the effects of all these and more.
We develop and maintain computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computational structural dynamics (CSD) codes to model behavior, interaction, equipment response and human injury effects. We have extensively validated the results of our simulations against large-scale field tests conducted by military, public and commercial clients.
