ENGINEERING PROJECTS
Aircraft Weapons Elevators
- Analyzed ship elevator components for modal, shock, and deflection criteria
- Created FEA models of equipment and ship structure to quantify the equipment response to shock input
- Identified and proposed solutions for areas of shock deficiency
- Worked within a multidisciplinary group to document and incorporate solutions
Equipment Resonance
- Used FEAMAP to correlate FEA models to bump test data
- Provided structural solutions to avoided resonance based on the equipment operation condition.
- Performed transient analysis of shipboard foundations using test derived shock inputs
- Sized shock isolation mounts for vendors based on mounting location
CANES (Consolidated Afloat Network Enterprise Services)
- Performed onsite Mil Spec test support for temperature and humidity, EMI, airborne noise, shock and vibration
- Liaised between Newport News Shipyard and Northup Grumman to provide status updates and to provide testing solutions when issues arose
- Used SIMPLE to vali...
