In mid-May 2023, ESRD’s Co-Founder and Chairman Dr. Barna Szabó will deliver a keynote presentation at the ASME VVUQ 2023 Symposium in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Dr. Szabó’s presentation, entitled “Simulation Governance: An Idea Whose Time Has Come”, will focus on the goals and means of Simulation Governance with reference to mechanical/aerospace engineering practice.
The abstract of the keynote presentation is as follows:
Mathematical models have become indispensable sources of information on which technical and business decisions are based. It is therefore vitally important for decision-makers to know whether or not they should rely on the predictions of a particular mathematical model.
The presentation will focus on the reliability of information generated by mathematical models. Reliability is ensured through proper application of the procedures of verification, validation and uncertainty quantification. Examples will be presented.
It will be shown that mathematical models are products of open-ended evolutionary processes. One of the key objectives of simulation governance is to establish and maintain a hospitable environment for the evolutionary development of mathematical models. A very substantial unrealized potential exists in numerical simulation technology. It is the responsibility of management to establish conditions that will make realization of that potential possible.
This past year, ESRD's Drs. Barna Szabó and Ricardo Actis collaborated with NAVAIR's Mr. Dave Rusk on a technical paper titled "Fatigue Life Prediction of Flaw-Tolerant Damaged Rotorcraft Structures". This paper was presented at the American Helicopter Society Annual Forum 74 in Phoenix, Arizona May 14-17, 2018.

ESRD's Chairman Dr. Barna Szabó posed an FEA challenge problem in NAFEMS Benchmark Magazine October 2018. Can you solve it?
In the October 2018 issue of NAFEMS Benchmark magazine, ESRD Chairman Dr. Barna Szabó posed a new "FEA Puzzler": Can you determine the progression in spring rate as a 3D coil spring is deformed? And, can you verify the accuracy of your solution? Give it your best shot!
ESRD is pleased to announce a new webinar, scheduled for April 22, 2021 @ 11:00 am EST.
This webinar, hosted by ESRD partner Revolution in Simulation, will present a case study in which the goal was the development of a mathematical model for supporting condition-based maintenance (CBM) decisions.
“Hearty congratulations to management and staff at ESRD on their 25th anniversary. The quality and capability of their software products are excellent. I hope that ESRD successfully continues for many more years with the fundamental principles of mathematical precision, numerical accuracy, and integrity in computational simulation.”
