  • Aug 2015 - Dec 2021

  Work in the Applied Mechanics group performing finite element analyses on metallic and composite naval and aerospace structures. Projects include but are not limited to: performing shock analysis of explosive events and the subsequent structural response using CTH and Abaqus CEL/Explicit for aerospace applications and correlating the FEA results to test data by computing Shock Response Spectrum using Matlab; validating shock test fixture designs by performing static stiffness analyses using Abaqus Standard and dynamic underwater explosion analyses using Abaqus Explicit in preparation for naval shock testing; performing hydrostatic and buckling analyses on underwater structures; performing shock analyses of naval surface ship and submarine equipment foundations with the Dynamic Design Analysis Method (DDAM) using FEMAP and NX Nastran along with leading younger engineers in performing these analyses; performing analyses of impact events using Abaqus Explicit; using Python scripting along with Abaqus to perform post-processing tasks including calculating strain of a composite structure in a lamina material coordinate system for fatigue and failure evaluation.
