PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Key Safety Systems Inc. - Sterling Heights, Michigan

01/2000 - 01/2010

Principal CAE Engineer - CAE Department

Responsible to lead a team of 5 CAE Engineers to provide CAE support to our

company, including Steering Wheel, Seatbelt, Airbag and Hamlin Electronic

divisions.

. Provide Structural, Dynamic Impact (FMVSS 203 & 208) and NVH

analysis to support the Ford D3L and FD471 Steering Wheel program.

Successfully released armature design to meet all Ford requirements

including the new Maxilla and high PMOI requirement.

. Successfully provided an armature design which will meet the Static

Bending Rigidity test requirement for the Fiat-500 2-Spoke Armature.

We are the only supplier, out of 5 other competitors, that met this

design requirement and earned the Top CAE Technical Accomplishment

Evaluation from our Fiat customer.

. Successfully released armature design to pass all Peugeot PSA-W2

Steering Wheel structural requirements with the first prototype

parts. Well understanding of our customer need, Federal and

internal test requirements, enable us to fine tune the CAE analysis

(FMVSS 203 & 208) targeted our armature design to meet the

structural integrity of our customers.

. Structural analysis for the Ford PT Housing, enable us to use the

zinc housing body to act as the anti-rotational stop and minimize

the use of the steel anti-rotational tab bracket.

. FEA Strength Analysis of the Seat Belt System (Retractors, Buckles,

Anchoring Bracket and ATL Assembly), including static and nonlinear

dynamic impact analysis (FMVSS 209, FMVSS 210 & ECE-R-16) with

multiple contact interactions.

. Mechanism Analysis of Retractor and Buckle assembly blocking during

pretension (PT) loading with FEA tools.

. FEA Structural Analysis to improve design of the Driver, Passenger and

Knee Airbag Housing.

. DAB, PAB, and KAB Door Tear seam opening analysis during airbag

deployment.

. Developed design and integration solution to eliminate gas leakage

problem in the ADI-D Inflator.

. Vibration Analysis (NVH), including natural frequency extraction,

transient modal dynamic analysis, and mode based steady state dynamic

analysis including Armature, Airbag Module, Retractor, Buckle systems

and various vibration testing fixtures.

. Thermal Stress Analysis for the Hamlin Reed Switch to improve design

to avoid glass breakage due to thermal expansion and contraction.

Achievements

. 2003 working with the product engineering team to prevent a major

steering wheel recall.

Customer hub design was used in one of our Steering Wheel program.

Using FEA analysis we had illustrated to our customer that their hub

design did meet all of

the old structural requirement but not the new Spec. We were able

to show our original

hub design is a better design which can sustain a greater torsional

load and met their

new Spec. Customer finally accepted it was their own hub design

that is at fault, they

agreed to use our hub design in this armature and call off the

recall proposal.

Team work and carefully use of CAE tool had prevented a

catastrophic event and earned

customer respect and trust.
