The rise of DFAN testing has been driven by the need for cost-effective and schedule-friendly environmental testing. To fully leverage its logistical benefits, test directors and facility managers must carefully consider the potential impacts on their buildings and operations.   However, the comprehensive impact of DFAN on host facility operations has not been thoroughly discussed in previous literature. In a technical paper, Cassandra Dutt, Staff Project Engineer, provides a detailed overview of the structural and practical implications of the acoustic load generated by DFAN testing on host facilities.   Read the full paper below to unpack the insights. https://lnkd.in/dd5q5prE

All about Marine Systems Engineering: in conversation with Lennart Treur and Willem Kes about changes, innovations and challenges: “every detail counts, from pipe routing to the layout of technical spaces. Finding solutions to create safe and future-proof vessels, which are still competitive in the current market, is a big challenge in our work”. ➡ See how our engineering experts tackle these complexities — read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/g8_dZVCX #MarineSystems | Vuyk Engineering Rotterdam B.V. | #MaritimeEngineering

This webinar will guide you through the Concrete Model in PLAXIS, starting with an overview of its fundamental concepts and validation methods.

The Joukowsky equation, while valuable for estimating transient pressure surges in simple pipeline systems, has limitations when applied to complex water distribution networks. It assumes uniform flow conditions and lacks the capability to account for intricate variables like branching systems, varying pipe materials, or multi-phase fluid interactions. More about this and how I integrate system engineering's V-diagram into the analysis this upcoming SETE 2024 Conference in Melbourne 🙂

Needed Commentary indeed -- in addition - #Need - National Capacity (USA) for open source C and L Band #InSAR-capable Radar Constellation. A national imperative, not met by one #NISAR L-Band Radar with 12-day revisit --- still to launch and perform. Egregious lack of foresight from #EO community and #geomatics - mission managers, as well as near complete lack of awareness (need) beyond defense and military applications. National preparedness and #earth_defense grade = F.

From Mohenjo-Daro to the present, infrastructure means not just large-scale engineering but projects that define and structure the power of the State. Read Robert Fishman's essay on The Power of Infrastructure in the latest Gradient Journal feed: https://myumi.ch/Qq2nb
