Company Information
Michigan Engineering Services (MES) is a Woman Owned Small Business, operating since 2002. Over the years MES has performed work for all branches of the Department of Defense (DoD), NASA, and the Department of Homeland Security.
MES has also worked with automotive companies and major Defense contractors. MES has developed commercial engineering tools for vibro-acoustic analysis, decision support, and risk assessment.
MES has proven capabilities and a strong publication record in the following technical areas: vibro-acoustic simulation for mid to high frequencies; blast event simulations; decision support; and risk assessment.
The EFEA is a solver developed by MES for vibro-acoustic simulations in the mid to high frequency range. When using conventional finite elements analysis (FEA), the higher the frequency of interest the more elements are needed. However, this is not the case with the EFEA. Therefore the method has no upper frequency limitations and can model large systems using a small number of elements. The EFEA has been tested, proven, and used in Naval, automotive, and aircraft applications.

The Hybrid Finite Element Analysis (Hybrid FEA) method is based on combining conventional Finite Element Analysis (FEA) with the Energy Finite Element Analysis (EFEA) for mid-frequency computations. The Hybrid FEA extends the utilization of existing finite element models to higher frequencies for vibration and noise simulations. It determines the vibration and the noise created from operating components (i.e. electric motors, engine, suspension, gearbox, etc.) mounted on the load bearing members of an automotive vehicle, a rotorcraft system, or an aircraft.

MES has expertise in conducting blast event simulations and determining the response of vehicle structures and their occupants to the loads from buried explosive devices. MES has also developed a Blast App for rapid vulnerability assessment in urban environments and high attendance events.

MES has developed the Decision Support Toolkit (DST) which allows an engineer to create an optimization flow chart for a design activity and link seamlessly the simulation tools which will be used for the analysis. Embedded mathematical algorithms drive the decision making process resulting to the best set of alternative configurations that improve as much as possible multiple competing performance metrics while meeting constraints and requirements.

The Attack-Defense Tree (ADTree) is a tool developed by MES for risk analysis of any infrastructure or asset under attack by adversaries. It employs probabilistic calculations for determining the effectiveness of a defensive layout against a coordinated attack. It allows to evaluate alternative defense strategies and achieve the highest level of protection with the least amount of resources. Sample scenarios analyzed by the ADTree are active shooter situations, border patrol activities, cybersecurity, and National special security events.
