Responsible for technical activities, primarily in mechanical design area, of Engineering Design Group. This group was in the same Branch as the electrical and mechanical fabrication shops, and definition and improvement of communication between these groups was a part of the job. Interfaced with other groups at the Laboratory to obtain projects for Engineering Design Group, which was at that time composed of 50 to 60 personnel including engineers, manual designer/drafters, CAD operators, and CAM programmers. Made both formal and informal presentations on Group capabilities and activities to both technical and management audiences. Prepared time and cost estimates for engineering jobs, supervised work, reviewed reports, and prepared performance appraisals of engineers in the Group. Supervised and participated in design of an all composite center support column for a satellite being designed and fabricated at APL. Played primary role in introducing workstation-based computer aided mechanical engineering tools to APL.

Areas of research included analysis of environmental and processing-induced stresses in composites, the objective being to determine means of producing laminates with extreme long-term dimensional stability. Also studied the use of micromechanics analysis to predict the thermomechanical properties of hypothetical composites. Unpublished work includes analyses conducted to determine induced stress fields and thus validate a number of non-standard tests used by Bendix personnel to evaluate experimental composite materials. Consulted with Bendix divisional personnel in the area of composite mechanics and design, including both new introduction of these materials and analysis and understanding of in-service behavior. Applications consulted on included composite airplane driveshaft, composite probe arm for precision measurement device, and composite/steel actuators for aircraft.

Participated in research on heat transfer and loading of large caliber gun barrels and ammunition during firing and several in-service malfunction investigations. Involved in the design, prototype development, and prototype testing of the dual mode warhead for the SMAW weapon. This development was granted a Certificate of Patentability by the U.S. Navy (not patented until 1997 because of security classification).
