`Mechanical Engineer, Principal
`
`Bio/Summary
`Dr. Stevick has over 25 years of experience in failure analysis and design of structures,
`consumer products, industrial equipment and medical devices, specifically mechanical-
`electrical systems; aortic, hip and knee implants; medical cauterizing forceps; turbines and
`reciprocating engines; automotive and aircraft components; offshore platforms and drilling
`equipment including pressure vessels/piping/containers, blowout and breakaway devices,
`heat exchangers and combustion analysis. Engineering projects have involved testing and
`mathematical analysis of hydraulic systems, fire causation and spread, explosion causation
`and prevention, structural dynamics, electronic control systems, material behavior, heat
`transfer and structure/fluid interaction.

`Member of ASTM Committee F15.1
`
`Work Experience
`
`Since 1986 Principal, Consultant
`Berkeley Engineering And Research, Inc., Berkeley, CA
`Provide consultation in the areas of failure analysis and design failures, including analysis of
`codes and standards, medical devices and industrial equipment. Failure analysis work has
`varied from assessing the failure of cranes, medical implants, bone fractures, ladders, chairs,
`industrial presses, aircraft turbine engines, and propane/natural gas equipment and
`electronics to the analysis of defective safety devices on compressor/heat exchanger
`systems and fire investigation. Design projects have included the redesign of an electro-
`hydraulic, variable position hospital bed for burn victims; medical implants (spine rod, heart
`valve, aorta insert, pacemaker, hip, knee and fatigue design); the design of a powered
`wheelchair that provides standing and sitting positions; the analysis and redesign of high
`temperature/high pressure piping and pressure vessels; the design of fire safe storage vaults
`for electronic media; dynamic damping devices for tall structures and bridges subject to
`wind and earthquake loading; the redesign of pistons and valves for high pressure hydrogen
`compressors; and, electronic sensors for structural health monitoring.
`
`Fire investigation, electrical, and combustion analysis cases have included the evaluation of
`over 200 home fires; dozens of propane and natural gas fired equipment fires, including
`barbecues, heaters, furnaces and cooking appliances; refinery, chemical plant, power plant
`and coal processing plant fires and explosions; and the evaluation of fuel containers,
`including propane tanks, charcoal lighter fluid cans, and gasoline containers from 1 gallon
`consumer containers to tanks containing thousands of gallons. More than 200 gasoline fire
`and explosion tests have been conducted at BEAR as well as hundreds of magnetic field,
`electric field and spark tests. Design projects have included the design and evaluation of
`hydrocarbon handling equipment (towers, tanks, pumps, compressors, piping, valves, heat
`exchangers and furnaces), burner and flow modeling, leak detection methods for tanks,
`flame arrestors for storage, relief and vapor recovery systems, and burn/spark/fire resistant
`cauterizing forceps for surgery.
`
`8/90 - 1/91, Mechanical Engineering Instructor, U.C. Berkeley
`Instructor for the Department's senior design course: ME-102B, "Mechanical Engineering
`Design". Conducted lectures on the design of bolted joints, springs, gears, bearings, chain
`drives, wire ropes, and other mechanical components. Guided students through a major
`design project.

`
`3/82 - 1/89, Engineering Mechanics Specialist, Chevron Corporation
`Handled highly technical projects and provided technical consultation to field engineers in
`the areas of failure analysis and design. Projects included the redesign of compressor and
`turbine components, and the design of processing equipment for service temperatures
`above 1400 degrees Fahrenheit. Consultation varied from giving design advice on how to
`avoid structural vibration to calculating crack growth rates for offshore platforms in the
`North Sea.
`
`9/81-3/82, Project Engineer, Chevron USA Production
`Responsibilities included the design, and construction management of oil/water separation
`plants and gas recovery plants in the Bakersfield and Colinga oil fields.
