  • SwRI provides rapid response to address critical aging aircraft issue
    March 18, 2025 — Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) collaborated with the U.S. Air Force to ensure fleet safety after a large crack was unexpectedly found near the cockpit of a T-38 Talon. A new study describes how SwRI’s risk and damage tolerance analyses helped determine a more effective inspection schedule, allowing the Air Force to find cracks before they grow to critical size. For several…, Engineering Failure Analysis, journal and can be accessed at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1350630725001220 .

  • Transient Hydraulic Modeling
    Free Webinar: Transient Hydraulic Modeling Join us Wednesday, March 19, 2025, at 12:00 p.m.–1:00 p.m. (U.S. Central Time), Host: Adrian Alvarado, Hydraulic modeling is a useful tool to analyze transient scenarios that are likely to be encountered that pose high risk to an equipment's integrity (such as compressor surge) or station operating condition commitments (such as gas standard flow delivery or maintaining power generation equipment supply pressures). Transient hydraulic modeling provides the mathematical and physics dependent…
