Pressure Vessel Engineering: History, Mechanics, ASME Standards & the Future
A comprehensive technical reference for engineers, inspectors, and industry professionals: the disasters that wrote the rules, the physics that makes them work, and what comes next.
What Is EPC? How Engineering, Procurement & Construction Projects Actually Work
EPC is a project-delivery model where one contractor handles engineering, procurement, and construction under a single contract, usually for a fixed price. What each phase involves, how the risk is allocated, and why documentation governs the whole thing.
How the World's Energy Mix Shifted Over Two Centuries, and Where It Goes Next
A data-driven look at how the share of each energy source has changed since 1800, why past transitions were slow, and what the current projections actually say about the decades ahead.
How Pressure Vessel Inspection Actually Works Across Different Countries
A technical overview of the regulatory bodies, codes, and inspection systems that govern pressure vessel and EPC compliance in the United States, Europe, the Middle East, India, China, Japan, and Korea.
What's Actually Changing in CAD, FEA, and Engineering Simulation
A grounded look at where AI is showing real results in CAD, FEA, optimization, and agentic engineering workflows in 2026, and where DeepMechanix fits within it for EPC and pressure vessel design.
Autonomous Materials Discovery: How AI Is Rewriting the Discovery Loop
A working guide to accelerated and autonomous materials discovery: the process-structure-property paradigm, how AI compresses the search, and the self-driving labs (A-Lab, Radical AI, Periodic Labs, Medra) closing the loop between hypothesis and matter.
AI for EPC: Where Artificial Intelligence Fits in the Engineering, Procurement & Construction Workflow
AI fits the EPC workflow wherever engineers reproduce codified knowledge or regenerate documents by hand: estimating, engineering calculations, procurement specs, and as-built control. A stage-by-stage map.
ASME Section VIII: Division 1 vs Division 2, Explained
Division 1 is design-by-rule with higher margins; Division 2 trades engineering rigor for thinner walls. Margins, classes, costs, and when each wins.
From Spec Sheet to U-Stamp: The Complete Vessel Design Workflow
The full path from customer datasheet to stamped vessel: materials, design-by-rule calcs, AI review, fabrication hold points, hydrotest, and the U-1A dossier.
What Is Physics AI? The Future of Simulation: Differentiable Physics & the AI Paradigm Shift
How a century of numerical mathematics is being reimagined by deep learning, and why it changes everything for engineering.
