Selected projects are summarized in the pages below. Each project can be accessed by clicking on its title. A brief description is given for each project, on that projects individual page,

Areas of Research and Development:

• Frequency domain methods in structural dynamics - frequency domain structural synthesis
• Time domain methods in structural dynamics - time domain structural synthesis
• Fast transient re-analysis for locally nonlinear structural dynamics
• Optimal design of nonlinear isolation systems for large structural systems
• Structural system identification and damage detection

Selected Projects:

Naval ship topside design for minimum weapons effect vulnerability

Diagnosis of round dispersion exhibited by a 30mm "Vulcan" cannon, a gatling-type chain gun, with a maximum firing rate of 4500 shots per minute.

Finite element structural dynamic analysis and design. Identification of random airloads on empennage control surfaces using a combination of measured flight data and finite element structural transfer functions.

Full-scale suspended airframe vibration test and sensitivity-based updating of a finite element model.

Design and analysis of one and two-layer isolation for the fire control computer. Both gun-fire shock (transient) and over-the-road random vibration were analyzed.
