As AI reshapes engineering, the real opportunity is scaling expertise. CTO Robert Otani shares how enterprise AI can connect global knowledge, reduce risk and support better project decisions.
The use of hydrogen as a replacement for natural gas presents all of the hazards we associate with natural gas although the extent of the hazards can be greater for hydrogen; the flammability ranges in air for hydrogen are 4 % to 75 % by volume, high pressure releases of hydrogen can auto-ignite and hydrogen explosions can be more severe as hydrogen is more prone to detonation.
The medical device industry recognizes the general motivation for in silico trials. The CORE.AI project at Thornton Tomasetti aims to create an automated workflow for medical device in silico trials. In this work, the goal of the in-silico trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of a generic, representative thoracic stent graft for the treatment of a thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA).
It took just seconds for the 900-ton instrument platform at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico to come crashing down into the 305-meter-wide dish, destroying the iconic radio telescope.
It took just seconds for the 900-ton instrument platform at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico to come crashing down into the 305-meter-wide dish, destroying the iconic radio telescope. A Thornton Tomasetti team of forensic engineers worked to determine the cause of the failure. Our findings were released by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in August 2022.
Our three employee network groups (ENGs), Women@TT, Mosaic (focused on multicultural issues) and Spectrum (LGBTQIA+), support our equity, diversity and inclusion (ED&I) goals.
In 2021, the second year of the pandemic, COVID-19 continued to loom large. The bulk of our employees continued to work remotely, and mental health issues were a major concern for people everywhere.
