Research in the area of active helicopter blade modeling and aeroelastic modeling for control design. Investigate different aspects of high-fidelity structural modeling in the context of multidisciplinary design optimization, from detailed finite-element to low-order methods, and their impact in aeroelastic analysis. Also interested in interdisciplinary issues associated with information transfer between structural and aerodynamic analyses for computational aeroelasticity and its integration in the design environment.

Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia

1994-1996 Post-Doctoral Fellow, School of Aerospace Engineering Provided technical supervision for Ph.D. and M.S. students in the Computational Structural Mechanics Lab/Center of Excellence for Rotorcraft Technology on their research topics. Those include aeroelastic design of a composite flexible wing, composite beam and plate finite element modeling and stress analysis, aeroelastic analysis of composite rotor blades, and natural vibration of rotating composite blades with swept tips. Investigated different methods of coupling a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) grid with a Computational Structural Mechanics (CSM) mesh to be used in the Multidisciplinary Design environment. Both mathematical and implementation aspects of the problem were addressed and selected algorithms were implemented numerically and evaluated.

Developed a new formulation for beam modeling including arbitrary warping modes compatible with existing VABS finite-element code for cross-sectional analysis and design. Presented a detailed 3-D strain/stress recovery formulation for rotor blades, wing boxes, and space frames based on the two-step modeling process for composite beam. Taught classes as guest lecturer in AE 6206 - Rotorcraft Dynamics and Aeroelasticity II and AE 6130 - Structural Dynamics I subjects.

1993-1994 Graduate Research Assistant, School of Aerospace Engineering Developed a new finite element analysis for composite cross-sectional beam modeling, including initial curvature and twist effects. Created a framework able to handle actual cross-sectional geometry and material distribution, and accurately recover 3-D stresses (without going to a 3-D finite element discretization). Developed a computer code (VABS) to implement the theoretical formulation described above, which will be the standard software for calculating the stiffness constants in a future version of 2GCHAS (U.S. Army's Comprehensive Helicopter Analysis System package). Showed the importance of including non-classical degrees of freedom in the beam cross-sectional modeling of advanced material rotor blades and fixed wings. Correlated the present results with experimental and 3-D finite element data. Participated in the investigation of aeroelastic effects of material coupling in wing design. Established a structural modeling formulation that is suitable to deal with interior solution as well as edge-zone phenomena.
