Undergraduate Research, Dr. Matthew Kuester, Spring 2016• Using a structural loading rig, I quantified the amount of deformation of a wind turbine blade resulting from an applied uniform, span wise load.• Constructed mathematical models to predict the amount of deflection and twist as a result of the span wise loading using MATLAB • Compared these models to aeroelasticity data collected from a wind tunnel test of the same model type• Presented final results in a comprehensive lab report to the Aerospace Engineering Department

Portsmouth, Virginia

•Completed ship alteration and structural modification drawings for LHD class ships and nuclear aircraft carriers for the United States Navy while onboard the ship and in AUTOCAD•Carried out finite element analysis and structural analysis testing for various structures •Performed engineering calculations to determine the center of gravity, weight, and moment of structures in ship alteration drawings
