Machine Design and Bearings Expert Consultant Resume

This expert specializes in the design of heavy-duty machine components and rotating machinery, finite-element stress, thermal, and dynamic analysis of bearings, seals and drive trains, and failure analysis.

Additional areas of specialty include bearings and seals for gun drills, drive and hammer mill bearings, bearings on crushers, and separators. Further expertise includes crushing roll spalling, clinker compaction model, roll sleeve slip, and FEA stress on various components. Other areas of expertise includes coal pulverizer bearing failures, pulverizer bearing redesign, boiler stoker bearing failures, bearing failure, and motor shaft stress.

Extensive knowledge includes bearing preload practice and spacer grind, boiler feedwater pump bearing failures, drilling rig bearings, and ID fan bearings. Further knowledge includes caster turret bearings, contact stress analysis, cold rolling model additions, and vertical edger roll bearings. This expert also has experience with CTM work roll bearing/chock FEA studies, CTM set-up model development, various caster turret bearings, and printing press bearers and bearings. Further experience includes APACHE main rotor bearing, caster turret bearing, CAD system revisions, and 4000 psi valve failures (FEA). This expert's background includes high pressure flanges (FEA), clinker crusher model, and CTM backup roll bearings.

This associate has demonstrated specific expertise relative to cement crusher bearing preload, hammermill bearing over temperature, paper slurry pump bearings, and compressor bearings. Other specific expertise includes high roll stack bending model with side shift, APACHE crash/TR bearing, gate valve failures (FEA), and cervical spine. This expert has also demonstrated skills in coller FEA model, FEA of various medical components, work roll bending bearing/chock FEA, and bar mill torque amplification study. Further knowledge includes space shuttle LOX turbopump bearing, rolling mill drive static stress rating, morgan gearbox/gears/bearings, mine shaft fan bearings, fan bearing and vibration, and work roll bending bearing failure.
