Integral member of the Roman Space Telescope Outer Barrel Assembly (RST/OBA) Mechanical analysis team having contributed design and analysis support for numerous elements: 1) Provided key support to the strength validation efforts, including but not limited to several building block elements/details (composite tubes, joints and sandwich panel inserts). Support often involved generating/documenting pretest predictions and instrumentation layouts required for test readiness reviews; 2) Generated the RST OBA elephant stand (tubular truss structure) composite fully-3D tube FEM using both explicit angle and smeared ply layers. This involved generating a circumferentially segmented tube with segment-dedicated coordinate systems for the explicit ply layer properties. Approach was verified using a benchmark problem based on composite laminated plate theory (Composite Pro); 3)Assisted in developing the RST OBA T300 and M55J composite material interlaminar shear allowables for both room and cold-soak temperatures. Detailed explicit ply finite element models were constructed based on previous program test specimens. Transverse shear allowables were derived iteratively by correlating FEA results and test data using a quadratic failure surface for a given interlaminar peel strength.

Beltsville, Maryland, United States

Structural analysis in support of NRL Geo Robotics program for several components including electronics box/board assemblies. Used FEMAP and MSC NASTRAN to perform FEA for normal modes, inertial stress and random base drive runs. Also performed hand/spreadsheet calculations as well as mechanical and thermal fatigue analyses.Conducted analyses of composite adapters for the Minotaur Launch Vehicle in support of Northrop Grumman Launch Systems Division. Task required combined finite element approaches (2D-shells and axisymmetric elements) along with closed-form hand and spreadsheet calculations to estimate the interlaminar tensile stress of curved laminates.
