Methods Development
ANATECH’s leadership in nonlinear predictive analysis of complex structures subjected to beyond- design-basis loading is inextricably tied to its development of advanced analytical methodologies. The core of modern analytical methodologies is the constitutive model which describes the complex thermo-mechanical behavior of materials subjected to beyond-design-basis loadings. As an acknowledged leader in this field, ANATECH has developed effective material models for concrete and steel, and nuclear materials subject to elevated temperatures, irradiation and aging.
