This evening lecture presents an overview of research commissioned by the Office for Nuclear Regulation and undertaken over a number of years by Mott MacDonald. The purpose of this research has been to investigate and more fully characterize the uncertainties associated with defining aircraft impact hazards informed by the use of aviation statistical analyses. 

This presentation will introduce new advancements and solutions to overcome challenges of Nonlinear Finite Element Analyses (NLFEA) for assessing the behaviour of complex structural details and systems.

Details on this evening meeting will be provided in due course.
