Mechanical Properties of Metals
Expert has studied aluminum alloys from the 2xxx, 5xxx, 6xxx and 7xxx series and studied their grain size, tensile properties, heat treatments, corrosion resistance, and fatigue behavior (both room temperature stress - life (S-N) and crack growth behavior). His work…
Fastening to Aluminum, Plastic, and Other Soft Material, Taptite® Applications, Torque, Boss, etc.
Expert has extensive experience with a variety of threaded fasteners. He has worked with design engineers to develop the proper selection of fasteners, to determine assembly strategies, and to diagnose assembly problems for a whole range of products. He has…
Polymer Rheology and Plastics Processing
Expert is currently working on constitutive modeling of the extensional behavior of molten plastics. He has developed models that allow the behavior in extension to be inferred from measurements in exponential shear. The material behavior in exponential shear is measured…
