SCOTT PROST-DOMASKY

Summary

Over seventeen years experience in the application of advanced engineering concepts. Twelve years in the development and applications of finite element methods (FEM/FEA) to structural analysis of linear and nonlinear mechanical systems: aircraft lap joints, composite delaminations, orthopedic implants, heart pumps, and blood cells. Three years experience in aerospace propulsion research and development for two aircraft manufacturers. Additional experience with biomedical industry as chief engineer for orthopedic implant manufacturer. A Registered Professional Engineer in the State of Missouri since 1999.

Present Position: Structural Analysis Consultant with Analytical Processes / Engineered Solutions, Inc., St. Louis, MO. Responsibilities consist of development of stress analysis modeling techniques for corroded aircraft fuselage lap joints, micro and macro surface profiles, non-aircraft structure including medical device and metal forming press. Also responsible for writing research grant proposals, writing technical papers, and preparing conference presentations.
