Icosystem corporation was awarded a contract by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) to developed a model of corrosion in aluminum. In particular, the goal of the project is to develop a methodology to facilitate the prediction of long-term corrosion based on short-term testing. "The U.S. Navy has developed techniques to predict long-term corrosion in steel based on the results of short-term tests. However, the same modeling techniques have not been successful when applied to aluminum" said Eric Bonabeau, Icosystem's founder and Chief Scientific Officer. "We plan to apply some of our advanced data mining and modeling techniques to this important problem." "This project showcases the power of our predictive modeling approach, and the breadth of its applicability" said Paolo Gaudiano, Icosystem's VP of Technology and Business Development. "Furthermore, we believe that the same approach could be useful in a number of other industrial applications, where short-term material testing results need to be used to predict long-term performance."
