Hazmat Transport
Friedman Research Corporation evaluates the safety of existing and new technologies transporting hazardous materials using sophisticated technology tools. FRC has a stragetic partnership agreement with Lawrence Livermore Labs under the Department of Energy program.
Cryogenic Research
Research on a UN-T70 cryogenic LNG tank under fire conditions analyzed phase changes and effects of tank rupture. The cryogenic tank material can become soft at the boundary between fluid and gas thus creating the potential for a BLEVE type explosion.
Shaped Charge Research
Our techniques for developing burner systems reflect real world fire conditions for evaluation of fire protection system designs and hazardous materials protection systems.
Hazmat Transport
We have created models of hazardous materials tanks such as specialized double wall tanks with insulation and other measures to maintain cold temperatures. For example, the consequences when transporting ammonium nitrate or propellant materials and a crash occurs exploding materials and resulting in serious damage and injury in the surrounding environment.
Burn Test Heat Flux Design
Our techniques for developing burner systems reflect real world fire conditions for evaluation of fire protection system designs and hazardous materials protection systems.
Anti Terrorist Protection
Our anti-terrorist R&D has led to pipe line protection from terrorist blast threats using advanced composite technology.
Explosion Simulation
We apply advanced techniques and technology to represent the explosive characteristics of a wide variety of explosive chemicals and mixtures. The modeling of those high explosives or other materials involves ignition conditions as well as the effects of deflagration or detonation on surrounding structures. We use ALE3D as a tool to evaluate the effects of blast when chemistry considerations are important and LSDYNA when more simplified ignition and burn conditions are present.
