Mehdi S. Zarghamee, Y Kitane, Omer O. Erbay, Therese P. McAllister, John L. Gross
Simpson Gumpertz & Heger Inc (SGH) developed global models of the World Trade Center (WTC) towers using finite elements to gain an understanding of the roles of the aircraft impact damage and the subsequent fires in the WTC towers with respect to

High Throughput Flammability Characterization Using Gradient Heat Flux Fields.
