OBJECTIVE
To work as a structural analyst, design engineer, or ground test engineer
in the areas of advanced composite structures, flight structures, and/or
aerospace structure development and evaluation activities as an individual
contributor or a lead engineer of an analysis, development, and/or testing
group
SUMMARY
Accumulated over 30 years of combined experience in developing the
procedures and performing structural analyses, in correlating the
structural simulation results and test data in support of hardware
development activities, in presenting the analysis results to the
management and customers, and in publishing the final structural analysis
reports to fulfill contract or task requirements of the project.
Developed CAPS (Composite Analysis Program System ) algorithm for the
purpose of
creating structural simulation models of advanced composite structures.
Experienced utilizing finite element analysis procedure and CAD software.
Performed many large deformation, nonlinear material, dynamic, vibration,
and viscoelasticity problems using finite element procedures.
Familiar with mechanical and thermal material properties of many metals,
plastics, and composites.
