Who is that Carne guy anyway?

摘要

After receiving his B.A. in Physics from Pomona College, Thomas Carne received his M.S. and Ph.D. in Applied Mechanics from CalTech in 1972. After five years at the R&D Labs of General Motors, he joined Sandia National Laboratories in 1977 where he has performed research in finite element modeling and testing of the structural dynamics of systems such as wind turbines, weapons, and automotive vehicles, and the Space Shuttle. In 1982 he transferred to the Experimental Structural Dynamics Department where he continued his research in the modeling of structural dynamic systems, with an emphasis on identification of uncertainties in analytical models by using experimentally measured modal parameters. In 1989 he was promoted to Distinguished Member of Technical Staff, a position which is limited to ten percent of the professional staff at Sandia National Laboratories. Dr. Carne has been very involved in the modal analysis community, publishing over one hundred papers in conferences and journals, participating in every IMAC, and presenting five educational tutorials at IMAC. He is a member of the IMAC Advisory Board, the IOMAC Scientific Committee, the Scientific Advisory Board of the International Conference on Experimental Mechanics, and has served as an Associate Editor of The Modal Analysis Journal. He was honored by SEM with the D.J. DeMichele award in 2000 Following is a summary of the session where the papers presented were based upon Tom's career.
