 Corrosion
management concepts utilising the application and
integration of corrosion predictive tools for corrosion
occurrence and corrosion propagation will be a driver
for new technical advances in the field of corrosion
maintenance and in development of new structural designs,
materials and processes for surface protection. Additional
benefits can be expected by reduced time to market
for new products.

SBIR
– Phase 1 |
Computational Mechanics and our partner NEXTGEN Aeronautics
recently completed a NAVAIR sponsored Phase 1 SBIR
Contract and were successful in demonstrating the
feasibility of using advanced modeling techniques
and programs to accurately assess failure progression
rates in aircraft engine system components.

"Preparing
for the Hydrogen economy by using the existing natural
gas system as a catalyst"
 A
systematic and co-ordinated approach for the generation
of clear outcomes will be adopted in NATURALHY with
a comprehensive collection of work packages which focus
on all vital components of transitional hydrogen systems.
A European consortium of 39 partners with extensive
experience and skills is assembled for NATURALHY which
involve major network operators, hydrogen producers,
specialist practitioners and academic researchers in
all relevant fields.

LowRiskDT |
 Low
Risk Disposal Technology
LowRiskDT is a collaborative research
project with the aim of developing technology for the
disposal of toxic waste in abandoned mines. Computational
Mechanics is collaborating in the application of computational
models to prove the effectiveness of proposed mines
in storage of toxic waste. The models cover the rock
stability, flow and transport of the pollution.

HiPSID |
High
Performance Simulation for Interactive Design - A
European Union ESPRIT Project
 The
key objectives of HiPSID are:
- Develop an easy-to-use, interactive,
simulation-based engineering design environment
- Demonstrate improved designer
productivity
-
Disseminate results to a wider group of users, opening
the way for further take-up and exploitation of
high-performance computer simulation.

Spline
Stressing And Wear Project |
 Computational
Mechanics participated in a collaborative research project
with GKN Westland Helicopter, Rolls Royce, Imperial
College, and Nottingham University. The objective of
this project was to develop a robust computer-based
design tool for spline joints commonly used in gas turbine
engines and helicopter transmissions.

CONOCO |
 Cathodic
Protection Design
A three-dimensional design code based was developed
to simulate the corrosion process and cathodic protection
systems for offshore oil and gas platforms. The software
was developed as part of a project with Conoco Norway,
Corrocean AG and FEGS Ltd. It is extremely expensive
to correct the effects of an ineffective cathodic
protection system, and there is strong motivation
towards numerical analysis to simulate these systems
before the structure is commissioned.

COMPUTATIONAL
MECHANICS AUSTRALASIA – Cracks in Process Pressure
Vessel Piping
 These
Engineering Critical Assessment procedures, which provide
guidelines to use when evaluating fracture, fatigue,
corrosion and other modes of failure, are routinely
used in the power, oil and gas industries world wide.
Although British Standard PD6493 provides fairly explicit
guidelines to incorporate when evaluating failure modes
it also supports other novel methods that can be used
to improve the quality of engineering analysis. Engineers
from Computational Mechanics Australasia saw this as
an opportunity for BEASY’s Fatigue and Crack Growth
software.
