NPS EXPERIENCE: Distinguished Professor of Mechanical Engineering

 

OTHER EXPERIENCE:  

  • 1979 - 1981 General Electric Company, Nuclear Power Systems Engineering, San Jose, California: Performed research on fluid-structure interaction effect in Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) for loss of coolant accident (LOCA) situation. New transient loading in LOCA was identified and I was in charge of the research project to assess if this additional dynamic loading is within design boundary.

  • 1974 - 1979 Argonne National Laboratories, Components Technology Division, Argonne, Illinois: Performed research on flow-induced vibrations in Fast Breeder Reactor and also steam generator. The design configuration is the bundle of parallel tubes. Both parallel and cross flow-induced vibration problems in tube bundle have to be resolved. The work involved in analysis, design and testing.

  • 1972 - 1974 Bechtel Corporation, San Francisco, California: Involved in nuclear power plant design and analysis. Conducted the finite element modeling of plant and performed dynamic analysis.

     

TEACHING INTERESTS:

  • Naval Ship Shock Analysis

  • Design

  • Testing

  • Random Vibration and Spectral Analysis

  • Mechanical Engineering Design

 

RESEARCH INTERESTS:

  • Fundamental and applied research in Shock and Vibration: underwater shock response analysis and testing, shock modeling and simulation, shock and vibration isolation and suppression, shipboard machinery condition monitoring and diagnostics, modal testing and acoustic damping measurement, acoustic-structure interaction, fatigue reliability, joint damping characteristics, and passive vibration control by constrained viscoelastic layers and wave guide absorber

     

AWARDS:

  • Fellow in American Society of Mechanical Engineers since January 1992

  • NPS Outstanding Research Achievement Recognition

  • ASME PVP Service Award for Chairman of Fluid-Structure Interaction Technical Committee

  • Director’s Award on Developing a Special Session on Ship Shock Modeling and Simulation at the 74th Shock & Vibration Symposium (2003)

 

BOARDS/MEMBERSHIPS:

  • Fellow in ASME, Registered Professional Engineer in Ohio and California

  • Member of Editorial Board of Journal of Shock and Vibration (1993-2005)

  • Member of Professional Engineers' Society in Ohio (since 1970) and California (since 1972)
