Resume of
Douglas S. Webb

Mechanical/Structural Engineer


Hello, my name is Doug Webb, and I am a Mechanical Engineer. I have specialized in structural and stress analysis of various hardware for 19 years. I have also been involved in dynamics, buckling, non-linear, and deflection analysis of various structures. I have extensive experience with finite element modeling, hand analysis, and computer programming. A copy of my resume is posted below, for details of my working experience. I would especially be interested in any opportunities in the greater Atlanta area, East Tennessee, or upper South Carolina.

If you would like to get in contact with me, or have any questions about my background, I can be reached at:

Lockheed Martin
Michoud Space Systems
1996 - Present

Performed stress analysis on the Space Shuttle Super Lightweight External Tank (SLWT). Manager of Mechanical Assemblies Group from August 1998. Mechanical Assemblies Group is responsible for structures such as feedlines, supports, bolted joints, ring frames, cable trays, fairings, and the SLWT Intertank. Duties included stress analysis of various aerospace flight vehicle hardware, disposition of non-conformance hardware, formal documentation, and supervision of stress engineers. Interfaced with NASA structures representatives, as well as loads and design departments in support of changes and new designs. Analyses were performed using both hand methods and Finite Element solutions. Analysis software used included MSC/NASTRAN and FEMAP on VAX/VMS, UNIX, and PC environments. Temporary assignments with Lockheed Martin Fort-Worth and Johnson Space Center in Houston Provided further experience with ABAQUS and MSC/PATRAN. Extensive use of other software, including Fortran, AWK, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, and MathCAD.

Lockheed Martin
Energy Systems
1989 - 1996

Member of Central Engineering Analysis group, in structural analysis department. Provided structural analysis to individual projects as required, including customer interface and schedule management. Documented analysis results as required, from formal technical reports to informal memos. Job duties included stress, displacement, buckling, and frequency analysis for many different types of structural systems. Performed both linear and non-linear analyses of items such as fan housings, shipping containers, piping, pressure vessels, storage tanks, and bellows. Non-linear analyses included impact, contact, and post buckled behavior problems. Analyses were performed both by hand methods and extensive use of Finite Element Analysis. Software used included ABAQUS (standard and explicit), MSC/PATRAN, Fortran, MSC/NASTRAN, and LSTC Dyna3D on UNIX platforms. Extensive use of PC software including Microsoft Excel, WordPerfect, Corel Draw, AutoSketch, Mathematica, and TeX.

Martin Marietta
Orlando Aerospace
1985 - 1989

Performed structural analysis on several projects, including Pershing II missile, OnTarget and DVHIT (early "star wars" test vehicles), and Long Range Conventional Stand-off Weapon. Sole stress analyst for the OnTarget project. Duties included stress and displacement analysis of various missile components and ground support equipment, such as missile skins, ring frames, brackets, and bolted/welded joints. Interfaced with designer and loads departments to support analysis. Performed analysis both by hand methods and using Finite Element Analysis solutions. Computer software used included MSC/NASTRAN, Fortran, SDRC I-Deas, and TeX on a VAX/VMS operating system.

Awards and Recognition

Received Director's Spot Award for work on Super Lightweight External Tank (SLWT) camera fairing assembly in 1999. Received Space Flight Awareness Excellence Award twice in 1999, for work on Thrust Panel foam loss, and for work on the SLWT stress report. Received Facility Design Services award in 1997 for outstanding support to the Melton Valley Storage Tank-Capacity Improvement Program. Received Award Of Excellence for distinguished performance on the Expansion Joint Capacity Team in 1996. Received three "Significant Event Awards" for contributions to Engineering Analysis group in 1990, 1994, and 1996. Received the "Black Jack Pershing" award for outstanding contributions on the Pershing missile project in 1986. Columbia memorial award for outstanding contributions to the investigation team in February 2004.
