Develop custom automated solutions for assembly line processes and end-of-line inspection
Design industry leading inspection tools for use in domestic and international pipelines and wells
Manage civil engineering graduate laboratory through collaboration efforts with private industry, department faculty and visiting researchers to develop, prepare and perform a variety of tests to validate product design, publish theory or educate
Performed fatigue tests to generate da/DN vs Delta K data. Developed crack growth analysis model to predict the cycles to failure for a liquid hydrogen pressure vessel to assist in the certification of the unit for flight. Conducted failure analysis of fractured part from a new design for the International Space Station treadmill. Developed method and wrote procedure to simulate corrosion pits in 4340 steel to be used for crack initiation in fatigue crack growth rate tests. Utilized crack growth analysis tool to develop a model to predict the service lifetime for composite over wrapped pressure vessels.
