PRIOR EMPLOYMENTS & CONSULTATIONS
(LIMITED)
DCD CONSULTANCY SERVICES, 2013 – PRESENT
Principal Consultant – Stress & Failure Analyst & Academician. Dr. Davis here developed proposals and programs emphasizing mechanics, materials, composites or nanotechnologies for applications in aerospace, oil & gas, civil infrastructure, transmission pipelines and pressure vessels, and renewable (offshore wind) energy. He managed highly - funded interdisciplinary and multi – institution/university R&D projects. He is an Invited Expert Reviewer of mechanics, materials, mechanical components and systems manuscripts submitted for publication in top international journals. He conducted Complex Failure Analyses (FA) on behalf of insurance firms, American International Group (AIG), law firms and their clients, businesses, or individuals in legal actions brought by Adversaries. Analyses were on industrial or domestic equipment and products with resulting Research Science - based FA Reports naming the more likely Root Cause(s) of Failure
(RCF). Dr. Davis’ consulting practice also included developing minority or female - owned small businesses to be competitive in the marketplace, as with the female - owned Pipewrap Inc., in the OIL & Gas Transmission Pipeline rehabilitation business. SAN JACINTO COLLEGE DISTRICT (SJCD),
DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS & ENGINEERING.
Faculty of Engineering.
Dr. Davis instructed engineering courses: introduction to engineering, statics, dynamics, and engineering computing. He also instructed drafting & design and demonstrated Creative Design and Problem-solving. An example was a well bore Down - Hole A-135 Metal Drill Pipe Failure. In these type exercises small teams of students were charged to propose a
“Root Cause of Failure” (RCF), and as a team, make an oral presentation and provide a written Technical FA Report document. Here students were introduction to the Profession of Failure Analysis. Other valid industry-based FA projects would be presented in future classes with assistance by local industry employees. Also taught was the subject of techniques for Study Skills & Time Management, so critical for improving retention rate of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) students from our marginalized communities. The objective here was to prepare students to be successful in their transfer to a 4-year undergraduate engineering program at a major university. 6
DC DAVIS
UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON, WIND ENERGY
RESEARCH CENTER, (WERC).
Research Professor & Consultant.
Dr. Davis was assigned primarily to assist in writing a proposal to the National Science Foundation (NSF) for establishing a multi-institution Engineering Research Center
(ERC) on Offshore Wind Energy. This effort would be to achieve an externally funded WERC, for Renewable Energy through Offshore Wind. The WERC would include R&D application of Nanocomposite Materials to the Wind Energy System. The offshore installations would have a focus on nanotechnology in both Aeronautics and Civil Infrastructure fields. Dr. Davis’ independent research focused on the engineering sciences of Fatigue Failures and Fracture Toughness of fiber reinforced polymeric nanocomposites blades. Initially, nanomaterials would have included Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes (FCNTs) or Nanofibers
(FCNFs), assuring a superior strength-to-weight fiber reinforced composite system. This mechanical - material property is essential for wind turbine blades in applications to very large scale offshore wind turbines.

GENERAL ELECTRIC (GE) COMPANY, APPARATUS
SERVICES DIVISION
Manager, Failure Analysis (FA)
Conducted on-site investigations for Failure Analysis (FA) of mechanical components - fans, blowers, pipes, paper rollers, found in the paper and pulp processing facilities, as an example. Claims submitted by the Adversary that the repairs performed by the GE engineers or technicians were faulty and the cause of the subsequent poor performance or repeated failures of the component or system, as noted above. At an “on-site (Field) investigation”, pertinent information is obtained: component/system operating history, environmental history, stated visual observations of failure incident, identity and names of pertinent individuals and extensive photography of the failed component and surrounding conditions. An initial Technical Failure Analysis (FA) Report was then provided to GE management for their disposition. Re-evaluation and assessments were required in some cases.
GENERAL ELECTRIC (GE) COMPANY, MACHINERY
APPARATUS OPERATION (MAO).
Stress Engineer
Dr. Davis performed stress analyses on pressure vessel components for the US Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program using large-scale Finite Element Method (FEM) computer programs for thermal-mechanical evaluations. The analyses focused on discontinuity areas of pressure vessel tanks such as manholes, handholes, and piping. These analyses for analytical fatigue were according to US Navy nuclear pressure vessel design codes, which are akin to the ASME pressure vessel and boiler codes. Thick-wall plate and shell theory was the guiding science supporting these analyses.
Dr. Davis held United States (US) Department of Energy (DOE) and US Navy nuclear security clearances at that time. These clearances currently are voided. Dr. Davis currently has no recall or legal access to any reports or information. This information is invalid as US Navy nuclear designs have surely been modified to maintain US Military superiority in this area. 10
