Our Work

Our team of engineers previously collaborated on various projects with institutions including
The US ARMY – Ground Vehicle Systems Center (previously known as TARDEC), PPG Industries Inc. ,
Consolidated Edison, Inc. and NYC Buildings.

Our capabilities include high speed impact tests, drop weight impact tests, shock wave impact,
Charpy Impact Tests, Torsion and Tensile Tests and Glass-Fiber Reinforced Polymer Panel design and
manufacturing, Design and Analysis of Finite Element Simulations.

Most recent projects:

“Characterization of PPG Structural Adhesive Under Very High Strain Rate Loading”

“A study on the performance of adhesively bonded and spot-welded double-hat joints under various loading regimes (Axial Loading)”

High speed bullet impact at 250 meters per second ( Sole Property of Otto Dynamics LLC., can not be
published elsewhere).

Shock Tube Blast Experiment (Sole Property of Otto Dynamics LLC, can not be published elsewhere ).

Example of a Finite Element Simulation done by Otto Dynamics to analyze steel bullet (dark colored) hitting an aluminum joint at approximately 300 m/s (axisymmetric model).

Example of a Finite Element Simulation to simulate ballistic testing done on metal joints in shear mode (steel bullet impacting from the right hand side).

Example of a Finite Element Simulation to simulate manhole explosion.
