Professor of Applied Mechanics
Department of Applied Mechanics and Engineering Sciences
University of California, San Diego
Education:
Doctor of Philosophy, 1983, Mechanical Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Master of Science, 1980, Mechanical Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Bachelor of Science, 1978, Mechanical Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Positions Since Ph.D.:
6/91-present: Professor, University of California, San Diego Research on computational methods for nonlinear, large deformation problems in solid mechanics. Recent research includes analysis of ductile fracture using an Eulerian finite element formulation, fundamental mechanisms in shock compaction, arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) and Eulerian finite element formulations, and methods for monotonic element-centered momentum advection.
5/87-6/91: Assistant Professor, University of California, San Diego Research on computational methods for nonlinear, large deformation problems in solid mechanics.
2/84-4/87: Research Engineer, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Nonlinear finite element research, primarily for explicit, nonlinear finite element programs such as DYNA3D. Research topics include multi-tasking, combined rigid body and finite element formulations, single surface contact for the post buckling analysis of shell structures and ALE formulations.
10/78-1/84: Principal Analyst, Mechanical Dynamics, Incorporated Consulting and software development. Principal author of ADAMS2D (Automatic Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical Systems-2D), the DRAM postprocessor, the DMP (Data Modification Program), and development work on ADAMS (3D) and DRAM (Dynamic Response of Articulated Mechanisms).
Professional Societies:
Member of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
Member of the ASME Committee on Computing in Applied Mechanics.
Member U. S. Association of Computational Mechanics.
Member Tau Beta Pi.
