Welcome to my LinkedIn profile! I am Ashkan, a passionate engineer with a Ph.D. specializing in vibration, where my focus lies in unraveling the dynamic behavior of systems entailing fluid-structure interaction (FSI) and computational mechanics. My expertise spans both experimental and computational realms, excelling in techniques such as experimental modal analysis (EMA), operational deflection shapes (ODS), and vibrational signal processing through MATLAB scripting/programming.As the top instructor for computational modeling of engineering systems using MATLAB and ANSYS, I bring a wealth of knowledge in implicit-explicit techniques to model dynamic structural degradation, including impact and blast-induced failure. At SI, I've played a pivotal role in resolving complex vibration-related challenges across diverse rotary/machine systems, including pumps, fans, generators, gearboxes, and mixers.Notable contributions include conducting EMA and ODS for a 1,000 MWe generator to address hydrogen leakage issues, performing system-wide assessments of small-bore piping for vibration fatigue susceptibility, and dynamically evaluating multi-stage pumps for excessive vibrations mitigated through structural modifications.Active engagement in ASME and regular participation in BPVC III Appendix N meetings showcase my commitment to staying at the forefront of industry standards. My adeptness in developing and evaluating the Comprehensive Vibration Assessment Program (CVAP) Reg. 1.20 for Prototype Advanced Reactor Internal Systems underscores my dedication to cutting-edge advancements.Here's a snapshot of my technical expertise:Expert in experimental and theoretical noise and vibration analysis of solid structures and fluid-structure interaction (FSI).Proficient in linear, non-linear, implicit, and explicit dynamics analysis, as well as Finite Element Analysis (FEA).Specialist in computational mechanics and analytical dynamics.Skillful in time and frequency analysis, along with vibration signal processing.Expertise in Experimental and Computational Modal Testing, Operational Modal Analysis, and Random Vibration Analysis.I am enthusiastic about connecting with like-minded professionals, collaborating on challenging projects, and contributing to the ever-evolving field of vibration analysis.
