Mechanical Properties of Metals
Expert has studied aluminum alloys from the 2xxx, 5xxx, 6xxx and 7xxx series and studied their grain size, tensile properties, heat treatments, corrosion resistance, and fatigue behavior (both room temperature stress - life (S-N) and crack growth behavior). His work…
Electrical Connectors
Expert has applied his physics background to generate a fundamental understanding of temperature generation and material transport in electrical contact spots (a-spots) in bulk electrical interfaces. Over 25 years, his research showed that 1) Sintering effects occur in a-spots even…
Polymer Rheology and Plastics Processing
Expert is currently working on constitutive modeling of the extensional behavior of molten plastics. He has developed models that allow the behavior in extension to be inferred from measurements in exponential shear. The material behavior in exponential shear is measured…
Fine Particle Processing, Dispersion Engineering, Acoustic Separation Methods
Expert has developed several methods that use acoustic fields to trap, agglomerate, and collect suspended solids or droplets from stationary or moving liquids. These separation methods are fast, continuous, controllable, and energy efficient. Expert has done extensive research in the…
Cement and Concrete Technology, Planning Capital Project in Concrete: Concrete Forensics
Dr. S. Expert is a construction materials researcher with a highly successful track record in breakthrough developments in low-porosity, high-strength concrete and subterranean cement grouts using fly ash. He is adept at problem analysis, practical applications development, staff and methods…
Food Technology, Product Development/Optimization, Food Quality, Anti-oxidants, Sensory, Consumer
Expert is internationally recognized for her expertise in sensory evaluation of food products and associated packaging. She heads the sensory evaluation program at the Employer, which is ranked among the top five sensory science programs in the country. As a…
Life Support and Low-Temperature Plasma
Expert has expertise in life support systems for humans in space. He has extensive experience in physico-chemical approaches to recycling water and oxygen in space, oxygen storage, and processing solid wastes. He is very knowledgeable of water vapor electrolysis for…
Failure Analysis of Materials
MATERIAL FAILURE ANALYSIS; ADHESIVE FAILURE; COMPOSITE FAILURE; METAL FAILURE. Expert's (pronounced Wall-teen) principal occupation has been in the analysis of failures of machine components, including orthopedic (surgical) implants. Materials analyzed include metals and alloys of all types, polymers, elastomers, composites,…
Metallurgical Engineering, Materials Processing, Materials Failure Analysis
Expert has gained extensive experience in the uses of ferrous metals and alloys (carbon and alloy steel, high strength steel, structural steel, heat resistant steel), non-ferrous metals and alloys, superalloys, stainless steels (austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, and precipitation hardening grades), tool…
Plasma-Aided Manufacturing
Expert has been involved in the development of a number of features for these devices. These include the dual cell, programmed swept radio frequency excitation, external ion injection, and mass separation. He has also been able to utilize this concept…
