Engineering decarbonization doesn’t stop at the building envelope. Discover how Thornton Tomasetti and Crozier Fine Arts are applying systems engineering and carbon modeling to reduce operational emissions across the global fine art supply chain.
A two-pronged approach of decarbonization and resilience can help combat climate change while dealing with today’s shocks and stresses more effectively.
For specific geographic locations, hurricanes are a near certainty—it’s a matter of when, not if. Our firm has extensive experience helping clients both plan for the inevitable and execute a rapid assessment approach in the aftermath of a storm.
The age of artificial intelligence is upon us, and industries such as biomed and engineering are exploring its potential for innovation. In its latest in silico trial, our life sciences team applied traditional machine learning and deep learning models to assess how well a common type of stent graft can treat a thoracic aortic aneurysm.
In this demonstration, the goal of the in silico trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of a generic, representative stent graft for the treatment of a thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA). We used finite element analysis (FEA) for surgery simulation, along with Python packages for machine learning (ML) and data visualization.
Climate change brings rising water levels, rendering many structures vulnerable to potential flooding. In fact, scientists have predicted that global sea levels could rise by as much as 12 inches by 2050. Add hurricanes to the mix, and it’s more important than ever for owners to establish flood resilience strategies ahead of a storm.
Hydrogen has been used for many years across a number of industries and its characteristics as a flammable fluid are well known. As the world starts its progression to net zero, hydrogen is seen as a form of energy that is both transportable and flexible and can replace traditional hydrocarbon fuels. Looking forward, there exists plans for uses of liquid and gaseous hydrogen at much wider ranges of volumes and pressures than are typical of current hydrocarbon projects.
