Professor Young S. Shin

Distinguished Professor Emeritus
Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Graduate School of Engineering and Applied Sciences
Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), Monterey, California

Education:
PhD - Case Western Reserve University, 1971
MS - University of Minnesota, 1966
BS - Seoul Nat'l Univ, 1965

Career:
1981 – present Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Naval Postgraduate School
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 and 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)
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)
