Extreme Loading for Structures (ELS) and the Applied Element Method (AEM) is used around the world by practicing engineers, university professors, Ph.D. students, and other researchers in the pursuit of better understanding of structures affected blast, progressive collapse, seismic, projectile impact, demolition, wind, and tsunami. The result has been a steady list of published work in Journals, Conference Presentations, Ph.D. Thesis, Papers, and Case Studies using Extreme Loading for Structures (ELS) and the Applied Element Method (AEM) to study 3-D linear / nonlinear, static / dynamic effects of blast, progressive collapse, seismic, projectile impact, demolition, wind, and tsunami on structures.
