Scienalysis, Inc.
A forensic engineering and computational mechanics firm founded in 2011 and based in The Woodlands, Texas. The firm investigates how and why components and structures fail, and supports the technical, insurance, and legal review of those findings — applying finite element analysis, explicit dynamics and hydrocode simulation, fluid–structure interaction, rotordynamics, contact mechanics, and multiscale material modeling to establish failure mechanisms that are reproducible, evidence-based, and defensible under examination.
Every conclusion is built from first principles and recognized standards, then documented so it holds up under cross-examination. The firm’s work spans gas and explosion investigations, blast–structure interaction, rotating-equipment and materials failure, and the biomechanics of traumatic injury.
Founder & President
Dr. Jaton N. Wince, Ph.D. — 25+ years across mechanical engineering, materials science, computational mechanics, and forensic failure analysis, leading the firm’s investigations and simulation-based reconstructions of gas explosions, structural failures, blast–structure interaction, and injury biomechanics.
Education
Ph.D. in Engineering, Liberty University — dissertation in continuum mechanics and multiphase composite material modeling. M.S. and B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Mississippi State University.
