DEI has a straightforward approach to finding and applying solutions to our clients projects. Listen, ask, define, refine, execute. This requires listening to the client, asking detailed questions, defining initial requirements and refining the requirements to produce detailed specification documents that reduce ambiguity to as near zero as practical. These steps provide the basis for a goals oriented solution that will be executed within the allocated time and budget estimate. DEI provides Engineering Software Development Services and Engineering Consulting Services in five key areas. They are: QUALITY ENGINEERING - Perhaps the most potentially explosive growth area in engineering in the coming decade and beyond, is the field of Quality Engineering. We provide Computer-Aided Quality (CAQ) solutions that will guarantee consistent quality in a product or service, if followed properly by users. Manufacturing Engineering solutions developed by DEI have applied a production-like environment. CAQ solutions can apply to any company or organization that methodically uses certain steps and procedures to deliver a quality product or service. The method by which a company or organization goes through these steps will determine how well they produce their product, from both a quality and cost point of view. DEI has developed an Advanced Quality Planning model to automate that method. While each potential environment for the use of The Advanced Quality Planning System will have nuances that are unique, the application of this model is quite generic. The logic and the formulas are the same. For example, the model developed for the automobile industry for the production of parts can be used by the medical industry to efficiently move a patient through a hospital stay. MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING - DEI successfully developed a system for the American Iron and Steel Institute to assist the customers of the steel industry to make more efficient use of steel. This led to the present contract with the Aluminum Association to produce a similar result. DEI has not only computerized the documents used in manufacturing, but also the actual steps, procedures and processes themselves. The same computerized engineering requirements that apply to the Materials Industry also apply to all manufacturing industries that are procedure based, regardless of the product. DEI can computerize their systems, procedures, and manuals to help them manufacture their products more efficiently by using a DEI proprietary software package known as DE/CMS. INVESTIGATIVE ENGINEERING - DEI has provided expertise for attorneys and their clients, for determining the cause of structural and/or mechanical failures for many years. Additionally, it has involved investigative cost and schedule estimating. DEI has developed and designed jury friendly graphics used by attorneys in the courtroom to demonstrate their client's position. ADVANCED ENGINEERING - DEI has excelled in providing computer aided engineering solutions, in both a Structural and Mechanical environment, as has been documented earlier. This work is generally performed on a consulting basis. While many of our clients possess the necessary Advanced Engineering techniques, the skill and tools of DEI enable these techniques to be used properly and efficiently. Many of todays engineers, while well equipped with Advanced Engineering skills, have lost the first order analysis capabilities of basic engineering. This credible foundation has allowed DEI to expand its applications to other areas.

In addition to our commercial software packages, DEI has developed many proprietary software programs, that provide low cost and efficient solutions to complex structural problems. We have developed proprietary software for clients such as AISI, DuPont, AMP, Metropolitan Transit Authority, Control Data Corporation, New York Power Authority, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, General Electric and others. These programs have been developed for microcomputers and mainframes. DEI developed a Computerized Application and Reference Systems (CARS) of the Automotive Steel Design Manual published by AISI. The Computerized Application Mode of CARS is essentially a computerized handbook. It uses state-of-the-art equation solving techniques to quickly and selectively accesses design procedures, tables, equations, figures and other information found in the Manual. It also provides database operations, such as keyword searches and report generation. Desktop Engineering consultants and software developers have developed a computerized structural database, analysis and rating system for the elevated track structures of the New York City Transit Authority. The Automated Structural Inventory System (ASIS) creates and maintains required structural data for the elevated lines including stringers, girders and columns and their connectors. In addition, the program processes data on structural damage and repairs. The Automated Structural Analysis Program (ASAP) calculates the stresses in stringers, girders, columns and their connections subjected to dead, live, wind, centrifugal and traction loads. Both programs are interactive, menu driven, and interface with each other and are compatible with Intergraphs DMRS database management system. DEI developed a material and geometric non-linear analysis program for AMP Incorporated. This program, designed to operate on microcomputers, workstations and super-minicomputers, analyzes computer connectors to determine deflections and stresses. DEI developed a Windows-based computerized data acquisition and monitoring system for stamping presses. PPMS provides parallelism and time history records and features real time numerical and graphical display, press and die databases, sensor calibration options, and cycle comparison routines. DEI developed the Fluid Flow Graphical Display program for Johnson & Johnson. The program provides curve fitting and multiple results display of proprietary fluid flow properties. The program features cubic and polynomial curve fitting, scaleable and autoscale options, and export routines for both DOS and Windows operating systems. DEI has participated in the development of a Traffic Control Signs GIS application for Parsons Brinckeroff FH Inc. This system, used by the State of New Jersey and others, is based on a relational database used to store information about a location of a given vehicle traffic control sign. A customized version of the Microstation CAD system has been integrated to locate and display a landbase of roads as well as a sign plan drawing for each road in the database. DEI developed The Aluminum Design System (ADS), a computerized version of The Aluminum Design Manual sponsored by The Aluminum Association. ADS is a computerized system for the design and analysis of building structures and provides the capability to check whether a member will satisfy the ASD and LRFD specifications. ADS also provides extensive Material and Section databases and includes portions of The Desktop Engineer structural analysis program. DEI developed a program for Hackensack University Medical Center to determine the quantitative assessment of a patients risk of developing breast cancer. This assessment can be based on multiple risk factors. Several sophisticated models have been incorporated to assist in more precise risk assessments based on information provided by the patient. As the patient database is updated with patient history and outcome information, new HUMC Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Models can be formulated and incorporated.

DESKTOP ENGINEERING PROJECTS

ENGINEERING CONSULTING DEI consultants have worked on analysis and design projects ranging from microchips to power plants. These projects encompass many industries including: Civil/Structural Engineering Nuclear/Fossil Power Plants Mechanical/Electrical Equipment Aircraft/Spacecraft Components Investigative/Forensic Engineering

CIVIL/STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING

Desktop Engineering has performed state-of-the-art analysis and design of structures and buildings having simple and complex geometric configurations. Projects have included bridges, tanks, stacks, space frames, as well as conventional buildings. Many of these projects exhibit complex structural behavior when subjected to complex loading conditions such as dynamic, thermal and nonlinear effects. Desktop Engineering consultants developed a finite element model of the Manhattan Bridge Rehabilitation Project using advanced modeling techniques such as superelement and cyclic symmetry methodologies. Torsional deflections of the bridge deck and adequacy of deteriorated structural connections were examined. The George Washington Bridge was analyzed to investigate seismic effects using a three-dimensional finite element model. This analysis also included a soil structure interaction study. A copper converter owned and operated by Inspiration Copper Co. of Inspiration, Arizona was analyzed for extreme thermal cycling conditions. Desktop Engineering has performed dynamic and static analyses of tall stacks and silos. A vortex shedding study of a furnace waste gas stack was completed for Italimpianti of America, New York, NY. A dynamic analysis of a tall coal silo at Wyodak Station, Wyoming was performed to explain oscillatory behavior during concentric coal withdrawal. Desktop Engineering performed the seismic analysis and design of chemical plant structures, including the development of computer aided engineering tools, for DuPont. An elevated walkway was modified and redesigned for the New York Power Authority. Response spectra have been developed for steel and concrete structures, hospitals and high-rise buildings.

DESKTOP ENGINEERING PROJECTS

DEI engineers have participated in Integrated Design Inspections (IDI) which are established by the Inspection & Enforcement Division of US Nuclear Regulatory Commission. This detailed design inspection includes all disciplines and is performed on nuclear plants that are in the near term operating license stage. Sophisticated analyses have been performed to qualify system design for seismic loadings, support movements, extreme temperature variations and hydrodynamic loadings. Retrofit analyses have required refinement in analytical techniques in order to account for support flexibility, dynamic support motions and probabilistic evaluation of leads and responses. Desktop Engineering consultants has applied their knowledge of finite element computer programs to analyze unique structural systems subjected to complex loadings. These analyses include soil-structure and fluid-structure interaction, seismic analysis, machine vibration, impact loads, hydrodynamic loads, thermal loads, tornado, as well as dead and live loads. Desktop Engineering has performed seismic, impact and thermal analyses of spent fuel racks, heat exchanger supports, foundation and steel containments, for various nuclear power plants. Desktop Engineering has been extensively involved in the analysis and design of vessels, snubbers, diverters, piping and pipe support systems. MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

Desktop Engineering has performed structural analyses and designs of mechanical and electrical components and their subassemblies varying in scope from the thermal analysis of a small semiconductor chip to the dynamic analysis and design of large equipment pedestals. The analysis and design of a ball bearing assembly for Controlex/Eanco included the study of the assembly operational behavior when subjected to high thermal loads. A parametric study of a high power laser mount and submount assembly for heat transfer and thermal stresses was performed for General Electric. The analysis and design of complex rotary engine parts subjected to temperature and pressure loading was performed for Curtis Wright and John Deere. These components were highly irregular in shape and required internal stress investigation at many component cross-sections. Fluid-structure interaction was investigated in a project for E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co. involving centrifuge rotors subjected to high angular velocities and accelerations at the rotor extremities of more than one million Gs. The analyses required the utilization of high strength and exotic materials to withstand unusually high internal stresses. Displacement criteria and fatigue life span were investigated in several projects for Purolator Inc. involving high-pressure oil filter baseplates. CAD/CAM software was utilized to develop complex models, which were then interfaced with computer-aided analysis programs. A dynamic transfer function analysis was performed for Lockheed Electronics Co. on an optical equipment pedestal. An enforced acceleration representing a nearby explosive blast was imposed on a detailed structural model. Analysis data was then used to design a closed-loop servo actuation system to control the position of the optical equipment. A heat transfer and structural analysis of high temperature, molten carbonate fuel cells was performed for Energy Research Corporation and the Department of Energy (DOE). A stress analysis of a shell and tube type heat exchanger in accordance with the ASME code was performed for Martin Marietta. Analyses have also been performed on electrical control panels, cranes, vessels and storage tanks.

AIRCRAFT/SPACECRAFT COMPONENTS

Desktop Engineering has provided analytical consulting services for communication, weather and defense related satellite programs. The scope of this work has varied from the analysis and design of components to the analysis and design of entire spacecrafts. Satellite and satellite components have been studied by Desktop Engineering for various clients including RCA Astro Electronics, GE Electro Optics, McConnell Douglas, SPAR and Martin Marietta. These satellites have been built for commercial use and government agencies, such as the Air Force and NASA. Typical spacecraft components have included laser telescopes, parabolic reflectors, antennas, solar array panels, robotics arms and equipment modules, each presenting unique design problems to satisfy size, weight, and operational requirements. Spacecraft and their components must satisfy stringent design requirements and undergo rigorous tests to demonstrate structural integrity during launch, orbit, operation and extreme environmental condition. Loads to which the spacecraft and its components are subjected in these environments include random and harmonic vibrations, mechanical loadings and thermal loadings. Dynamic and eigenvalue analyses have been performed on aircraft substructures such as a forward wing actuator for Aeroflex Laboratories. One such project involved investigating the dynamic characteristics of a thin compression screw at various extension positions. The results of this analysis were used to optimize the structural design by reducing the component weight while maintaining structural integrity. INVESTIGATIVE/FORENSIC ENGINEERING

Desktop Engineering has investigated numerous structural failures and applied our expertise to forensic applications. Desktop Engineering has performed investigative failure analyses of piping systems and components. This included the evaluation and redesign of failed piping systems and valves, as well as the modification of existing systems exhibiting excessive deflections. Collapse studies have been performed to verify structural integrity, as well as to investigate structural failures. Desktop Engineering was involved in determining the cause of the hyperbolic parabolic cooling tower scaffold collapse at the Pleasant Power Station at Willow Island, West Virginia. We also determined the possible effects of a progressive non-linear collapse of the space frame roof of the New York Convention Center. Desktop Engineering has investigated the chassis and mechanical systems of shuttle buses. A medical lifting device for invalid patients was analyzed for stability by performing a geometric, non-linear analysis. Desktop Engineering investigated pothole formations considering temperature, traffic, moisture and material properties. Desktop Engineering has reviewed heavy reinforced concrete design and construction for a nuclear power plant. A structural analysis of an ovenable tray to investigate the optimum design, by minimizing deflections and tray weight, was performed for Celenese. Desktop Engineering investigated the cause of the delaminating of a roof coating material considering various types of distress, exposures and material lots. Desktop Engineering investigated the structural integrity of a concrete conduit for the New York City Transit Authority.

TESTING OF MATERIALS

In both consulting and research, Desktop Engineering has a long history of work on all types of structures and structural materials including a broad testing experience with classical and advanced materials under many loading conditions and environments. In the laboratory, extensive testing programs have been conducted on high temperature creep of superalloys for application to turbine design. Fatigue tests have been performed on high strength steel wires from the main cables of suspension bridges (the Williamsburg in New York and the Golden Gate in San Francisco) to assess the condition of those bridges. Tests of indentation resistance and energy of car doors and hoods, and the development of a portable testing device for that purpose have been among the extensive test programs conducted by Desktop Engineering. The significance of cracks and voids in the cast steel spherical nodes used in the space frame of a large metropolitan convention center has been investigated. A complete testing program of cast iron columns, from an old (1860s) mill building in Massachusetts, to develop the applicable column design curve for use in the redesign of the building for residences and shops, has been conducted. Desktop Engineerings experience with materials and structures, both in analysis and testing, under static, dynamic and fracture condition, at room temperature, as well as extreme temperatures, together with the available facilities of the Carlton laboratory, provide the expertise needed to investigate almost any material of structure.
