with "old" hand tools Currently, I design, analyze, and test
structures/devices that are "blown up" or "shot at", either deliberately
or accidentally. We do a lot of work for the DoD and the petrochemical
industry. Recent projects include the design and testing of an
anti-mine armor system for the HMMWV (in February, the first "field
test" occurred--three soldiers in Bosnia survived an anti-tank
mine detonation), numerically simulating the detonation of a
chemical weapon, testing and analysis of buried pipelines subjected
to abnormal surface loads, and blast- and fragment-testing of
industrial components used by bad guys to manufacture bad things.
I've received 1 patent and have 2 pending.
