Different numerical methods are used to evaluate structural response within seismic hazard areas.
Main references are in the Nuclear (Post-Fukushima) and Defense domains (harbor facilities such as cranes, workshops, buildings, …)
Large deformation analysis (LS-DYNA) structure/structure and also structure/fluid
Main references are in Nuclear (waste handling), Marine-OffShore (boat/boat, boat/fixed structure, .),
Structural response both under blast effect (LS DYNA) and underwater explosion (USA)
Shock wave propagation due to explosion – TNT, oil slick, nuclear plant – and impact on onshore structures and vessels (FLUENT)
Main references are in Nuclear, Marine-OffShore and Defense
Damage evaluated either from dropped objects or from receiving structures.
Main references are for lifting operations in Nuclear, Industry and Marine/OffShore
Regarding Marine/OffShore, we also qualify dropped objects from deck structure to sea-bed.
Engines room of nuclear plants
Nuclear propulsion
Qualification of wave effects due to failure of tank containment: pressure loads on bund walls, overflowing above the walls, flooding of external environment, mitigation of wave effects with the use of protection devices.
