Vibration Analysis, Mechanical Failure Analysis, Accident Reconstruction, Injury Biomechanics
Expert has extensive experience with the modeling and analysis of complex mechanical systems that incorporate articulated joints and that involve large and high rates of rotation. He has used angular momentum concepts to analyze the motion of falling cats as…
Structural Failure Analysis and Design, Including Thermal and Non-Linear Analysis
Expert W. Expert has been involved in finding the causes and fixing thermal stress problems since the mid 1970s. These problems have been related to thick walled boiler components, heat exchangers, fluid beds, and fuel cells as well as high…
Compliant Mechanisms, Flexure/Torsion Hinges, MEMS, Microsystems, and Finite Element Analysis
Expert notes that both of Castigliano's theorems are excellent tools in quantifying deformations and loads (external or reaction) of elastic bodies under small- or large-deformation modeling assumptions. He has extensively applied these theorems in finding closed-form solutions for compliances or…
