Abstract: The Navy requires the ability to predict fire growth and spread onboard ships and resulting damage and residual structural integrity of aluminum structures. SURVICE Engineering proposes the enhancement of a next-generation analysis code that integrates fire modeling, heat transfer, and structural analysis methods that implements a highly optimized code base with exceptional and proven performance.
Benefits: The successful completion of this SBIR will provide the DoD with an interactive real-time analysis model for simulating fire and assessing damage to current and next-generation ship structures. As aluminum is used many facets of structural design, successful completion of this SBIR will improve analyses that implement aluminum to both DoD and commercial agencies/organizations.
