Research
Research basis without becoming an academic portfolio.
Axis uses research-backed Abaqus modelling experience to strengthen engineering simulation work: blast, bridge resilience, cryogenic LNG integrity, thermal–structural response and fracture-oriented workflows.
Purpose
Research as engineering capability.
The publications and manuscripts listed here support the technical depth behind Axis. The website uses them as evidence of methods, material models, simulation workflows and reporting discipline — not as a substitute for project-specific engineering approval.
Bridge
Blast, CFRP, masonry, seismic and retrofit simulation.
LNG
Cryogenic spill, thermal shock, structural integrity and leak-tightness workflows.
Methods
Abaqus/Explicit, CEL/ALE, JH-II, CDP, Mohr–Coulomb, VUMAT, XFEM.
Selected works
Publications and technical manuscripts.
