QCM-based Post-Strike Damage Assessment
Consider an enemy network or infrastructure, such as the one shown below. The network is composed of around fifty assets.Continue Reading
Does Optimal Mean Best? Nope!
The understanding, assessment and management of risk and uncertainty is important not only in engineering, but in all spheres ofContinue Reading
Stochastic Crash Simulation – A Bit of History
Below is a reproduction of a 2004 article, “Chaos!”, that appeared in the magazine CAD User, and based on anContinue Reading
Complexity-based Computer Aided Design
As products become more complex they become more fragile. It is necessary to focus on product robustness by making productsContinue Reading
How Refined Should an FE Mesh be?
As compute power increases it is easy to generate FE meshes quickly and efficiently. This allows analysts to reduce theContinue Reading
On Control Systems and Model-free Methods
Historically, feedback has been used in control system engineering as a means for satisfying design constraints requiring: Stabilization of insufficientlyContinue Reading
Complexity and Aircraft Cabin Environment – An Update
Following the first experiment with the iCOMOX sensor onboard a Cessna 172 Seaplane, three new tests, onboard commercial jets, haveContinue Reading
Complexity of Submarine Acoustic Signature
Silent running is a stealth mode of operation for naval submarines. The aim is to evade discovery by passive sonarContinue Reading
Condition-Based Maintenance
Modern defence platforms, such as tanks, corvettes, aircraft carriers, submarines, or aircraft, function thanks to a multitude of software, hardwareContinue Reading
