Mechanics & Materials
The Mechanics and Materials Section has extensive experience in the development and application of advanced methods for component life prediction and probabilistic structural analysis. Many of these advanced methods have been incorporated in licensable software tools with mature graphical user interfaces. To facilitate the application of these tools and the underlying principles to industry, government, and academia, various training courses are offered throughout the year. These courses are typically offered on the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) grounds but are available at client locations should the need arise.
