Thermal Analysis, Finite Element, SINDA
All models start from simple schematic models. The simple model has as few nodes as possible in order to capture important features and gain insight. Complexity is added to the models until the desired refinement and accuracy is obtained. The…
Mechanics (Stress, Dynamics, Test), Modeling (FEA, CFD, Chemical), Machine Design, Controls
At Cessna, Expert designed the pressure cabin, empennage, and main spar carry through for the 441 Conquest and 650 Citation 2. His other engineering responsibilities included stress measurement (strain gauges, brittle coatings), solids modeling (NASTRAN), and FAA certification report authoring.…
Wind Energy, Wind Turbine Design, Aircraft Icing and Anti-icing, Wind Turbine Icing, and Aerodynamics
In more than 30 years of activity, Expert has gained a wide and solid experience in fluid dynamics and applied aerodynamics, particularly in wind turbine and aircraft aerodynamics. In these domains, he has conducted research that covered analytical and numerical…
Product Development High Stakes Problem Solving – Expert in Design of Experiments
He began developing and seeing results from his Design Of Experiments techniques at the General Motors Research Labs in 1986. He has refined and tested them in various environments, including automotive, aerospace instrumentation, armament technology and medical products in roles…
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…
Thermal Systems, New Product Development, Finite Element Analysis
Expert managed a concurrent engineering team that designed and developed the world's first commercial scroll refrigerant compressor. He was responsible for developing the compressor design, manufacturing processes and production implementation of those processes. The compressor was a commercial success, meeting…
