Mikheevskiy, S.Bogdanov, G. Glinka ’Statistical Analysis of Fatigue Crack Growth Based on the Unigrow Model’ ASTM international work experience 09/2010 - Today UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO Research associate My main reasons for leaving General Motors were my desires to move abroad and to work in the research and development department of a global company in the future. Also I was thrilled about the opportunity to work under the supervision of a global expert in the ﬁeld of fatigue and stress analysis, Dr. G. Glinka. My research area was focused on the reliable estimation of fatigue crack propagation in solid materials. While at University of Waterloo as a PhD student /Research Associate I have accomplished the following: • • • • • Improved the UniGrow fatigue crack growth model Proposed, developed and coded the 𝜌∗ search algorithm Combined the Monte-Carlo method with fatigue life analysis Performed fatigue and structural analysis for various consulting projects Researched and analyzed available statistical fatigue crack growth data During my time at University of Waterloo, I have also worked as a Teaching Assistant for following courses: • Mechanical Design I (4 Terms) • Fatigue and Fracture Analysis (3 Terms) • Mechanical Behavior of Materials (1 Term) 01/2008 - 09/2010 GENERAL MOTORS Supplier Quality Engineer For almost three years which I have worked for the biggest car manufacturer in the world I had taken various responsibilities and worked on different projects but in my main role as a Supplier Quality Engineer I have: • • • • • • • • Assessed potential and current automotive tier-1 and tier-2 suppliers Performed various audits at supplier facilities (PCPA, R@R, QSB etc.) Followed-up on the development of new parts and engineering changes Reviewed detailed drawings and technical speciﬁcations Supervised Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) Controlled development of the SQ documents (FMEA, Control Plan) Participated in sourcing and prepared technical speciﬁcations Organized customer-supplier problem solving teams Being originally hired by General Motors Russia, I had two major temporary assignments in Europe: 09/2008 - 02/2009 Advance SQ Department. Ruesselsheim, Germany 08/2009 - 09/2009 Launch support of the new Opel Astra. Gliwice, Poland In addition to above duties, in July 2009 I was chosen to be a training coordinator for a supplier quality organization in General Motors Europe. In this role I was responsible for • Ensuring new engineers are properly trained • Organizing and leading weekly training sessions • Developing and rolling-out time management training Sergey Bogdanov Research Associate 2 of 3 russian work experience 06/2006 - 12/2007 LLC 'TRI-E' Automatic Car-wash Service Engineer After graduating and ﬁnishing the project with the LLC ’Nevenergoprom’ I was approached to switch ﬁelds and work on the automatic car-wash systems. In my role as a service engineer I have: • Performed required maintenance operations • Supervised installation of the new systems • Kept track of required inventory for any potential failure situations 11/2005 - 06/2006 LLC 'Nevenergoprom' Boiler Design Engineer Part-time job in a small engineering consulting company during the last year of my master program. The project: re-design of an existing steam boiler in order to implement low-temperature vortex combustion technology My role: developed and modeled different scenarios for the most efﬁcient use of coal by the proper positioning of the boiler burners using 3D modeling, FEA and custom software honors and awards 2012 FATIGUE DAMAGE OF STRUCTURAL MATERIALS IX International conference.
