  2. WHO AM I? Dr. Kemper Lewis Assistant Professor Dept. of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering UB Center for Advanced Design 1010 Furnas Hall 645-2593 x2232 kelewis@eng.buffalo.edu

  3. Background Education • B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Duke University • B.A. in Mathematics, Duke University • M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Georgia Tech • Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Georgia Tech Research Areas Multidisciplinary and Systems Design Design and Decision Theory Visualization for Design Optimization

  4. Who are Mechanical and Aerospace Engineers? Product Engineers, Computer-Aided Designers, Manufacturing Engineer, Systems Engineer Bachelor Degree in ME means educational experience in heat transfer, materials, dynamics, mechanisms, controls, and design. Bachelor Degree in AE means educational experience in heat transfer, dynamics, propulsion, materials, aerodynamics, flight dynamics, and aircraft design.

  5. Where are the jobs in MAE? Product and Systems Design NASA Lockheed Fischer Price Boeing Ford, GM Moog Controls Delphi Harrison Enidine Praxair Telecommunications Motorola Texas Instruments Hewlett Packard Computer Technology

  6. What Would an ME Do? • Design the landing gear and control system for aircraft/space vehicles • Analyze the fluid flow in refrigeration, heating, AC, hydraulic systems • Analyze the thermal stresses and characteristics of a computer circuit board • Design the next line of solar powered automobiles

  7. What Would an AE Do? • Design, analyze and test the vertical take-off engine for the next generation fighter aircraft • Develop flight simulators or advanced wing surfaces • Develop micro-electrical-mechanical systems (MEMS) for Micro-air Vehicles

  8. Core Competencies vs. Research Focus Areas Core Competencies: • Design • Dynamic Systems • Materials • Mechanics • Thermofluid Sciences Focus Areas (Research): • Biomedical Engineering • Complex Product Design • Materials for Smart Structures and Electronics • Simulation and Control • Turbulence and Combustion

  12. Hemodynamics Research Visualization of a Side Wall Aneurysm Study of Arteriovenus Malformations - AVMs

  13. Cervical Brace

  14. Mechanics and Materials Faculty

  15. Bone-implant system Cross-section of bone Adaptive hp mesh (“optimal mesh”) Displacement contour plot Dental Implant - FEM Analysis/Design

  16. Material Fiber Design

  17. Systems and Design Faculty

  18. Flexible Control/ Control of Nonlinear Systems

  19. Complex Multidisciplinary Systems Aerodynamics Propulsion Structures Manufacture/ Life Cycle Controls Heat Transfer

  20. Geographically Distributed Design The development of geographically distributed environments for Advanced (Collaborative) Design focuses on frameworks that allow visualization and manipulation of the design artifact itself, as well as design space representation. Interactive capabilities are crucial for better enabling multidisciplinary trade-offs.
