ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Author/co-author of several basic and problem resolution papers presented at ASME, Texas A&M and International Vibration Institute.
Editing of papers, vibration Handbook and vibration manuscripts.
Recurrent support for establishing practical boundary conditions for rotordynamic analysis optimization of vendor rotordynmaic systems.
1999 Isolated repetitive large generator rotor insulation overheating failures to other than torsional vibration root causes.
1999 Met Solars $8 million dollar, by reversing rejection discrepancy of a 10,000 MW generator shaft vibration - a marginally damped critical response at operating speed - by expedient integration of overhung bearing-cap/bracket doweling, a design change, and by specifying hot balancing technique to a previously optimized journal bearing clearance system.
