Eric Hansen is a subject matter expert at Thornton Tomasetti, specializing in blast and impact effects on structures. His experience includes dynamic structural response analysis for buildings, bridges, tunnels, and other critical infrastructure, using computational fluid dynamics and computational structural dynamics to model structural responses to transient loads. He applies this expertise to weapons-effects analysis, vulnerability assessment and protective design, as well as projects involving hostile vehicle mitigation, testbed design, AIREX and UNDEX loading calculations, and other complex transient-load conditions. His work also extends to explosive demolition support and forensic root-cause investigations of structural failures.
