• Developed the full size pick-up structure to give the customer the perception of a ‘solid’ truck. This is accomplished by eliminating unexpected vibration due to full vehicle and sub-system resonances in the 5 - 25 Hz.
• Introduced new objective test, development, and analysis methods to increase usable data, reducing design decision time and reducing program validation time.
• Implemented design changes to facilitate more efficient product assembly at a full size truck plant as a resident design engineer.
• Investigated / Initiated the use of Thermoelastic Stress Analysis on 3/8 scale plastic models to expedite the correlation of FEA structural models.

• Continued development of an automated Photoelastic Stress Analysis product to bring new features to market.
• Expanded customer base by teaching courses on Thermoelastic Stress Analysis (TSA) and on its applications in the automotive, bridge construction and aerospace industries.
• Wrote analysis software code for determining the stress intensity values, KI and KII, from TSA images of a crack tip in an isotropic material; tracking crack growth and quantifying damage tolerant designs.
• Ran mechanical fatigue tests on Surface Mount electronic packages.
• Performed investigative tests to establish a turbine blade inspection technique using TSA.

Detroit, Michigan, US

Developed objective test, development, and analysis methodologies to increase ‘usable’ data, reducing the time necessary to make a decision on the design direction.Completed a series of three-month projects under the College Graduate in Training program.
