Research & publications
Research used as technical evidence.
Peer-reviewed and conference work supports the methods behind Axis — blast response, bridge strengthening, industrial VCE assessment, cryogenic structural integrity, thermal–structural analysis and fracture-oriented simulation.
Purpose
Evidence behind the engineering methods.
Research is not used as a substitute for project-specific engineering judgement. It demonstrates familiarity with the modelling methods, constitutive behaviour, verification issues and technical communication required for advanced simulation work.
