David Pullman Email & Phone Number

Responsible for oversight of all analysis in engineering department. Performed all levels of advanced structural analysis (non-linear contact, large deflection, etc.). Designed and analyzed composite rotor blades for both experimental and FAA certified programs. Provided mentorship to junior engineers.

University Park, Pa, Us

Comprehensive Short Course in Rotary Wing Technology, Composite Structures

Piqua, Ohio, Us

Provided Structural analysis of propellers and associated components. Both classical and FE methods were utilized. Analysis included linear-static, modal, non-linear large deflection, contact, fatigue and fracture of metallic and composite components. Provided support for Material Review Board and FAA certification efforts. Active participant in the creation of an industry-wide Propeller Damage Tolerance Group under the auspices of the General Aviation Manufacturer's Association (GAMA).

Piqua, Ohio, Us

Taught Basic Engineering & Math Classes (Statics, Dynamics, Strength of Materials, Calculus, Trig, etc)

Randolph Afb, Tx, Us

Worked primarily in support and verification of SVELT (Spline Variational Elastic Laminate Technique), a novel numerical analysis approach, capable of significantly reducing the computational effort associated with the analysis of composite structures. Provided classical FE analysis to quantitatively illustrate the efficacy of the SVELT code. Worked with a small-business interest (SBIR) to develop a composite forearm crutch. Studied under the supervision of preeminent researchers in areas of Elasticity and Fracture

Designed and fabricated numerous devices to implement research in high-voltage space applications, railguns, switching, emissions, and fiber optics. Managed and maintained machine shop.
