John Hadjioannou, P.E. Consulting Engineer Specializing in Materials Selection, Failure Analysis, and Forensic Engineering Office: 281-363-9997 Mobile: 832-656-2152 [email protected]
PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
• Registered Professional Engineer (TX License #100137) o PE License in Metallurgical and Mechanical competencies Specializing in Forensic Engineering and Failure Analysis. • Failure Analysis o Experienced in utilizing numerous methods to ascertain the cause of failure. These methods include: nondestructive testing, microscopy, spectroscopy, and mechanical testing. Analyzed failures in both the field (worldwide) and laboratory for various industries including: oil and gas production, refinery/chemical plants, railroads, pipelines, sub-sea equipment, marine, automotive, construction/industrial equipment and insurance/litigation. • Forensic Engineering o Experienced in investigating materials, products, components and systems that fail with a multi-disciplinary approach, including Quality Control and Safety. Applied engineering principles to assist a court (or trier of fact) in understanding objective evidence, facts and in the engineering interpretation of Codes and Standards. • Corrosion o Experienced in the corrosion testing of metals per ASTM and NACE. Evaluation of the cause(s) of corrosive attack and corrosion related failures. • Fractography o Experienced in the use of low and high-power magnification microscopy (stereo-microscope and scanning electron microscope) to determine and document fracture morphology and failure modes. • Finite Element Analysis (FEA) o Experienced in the use of 2D and 3D CAD models for the simulation of real world situations to provide a complex stress analysis on products and materials when under applied forces. FEA has been utilized for design, forensic engineering and failure analysis. • Product/Component Design o Experienced in utilizing the principles of engineering in the design of proprietary products. This includes being the project manager from the conceptual stage through prototypes and into market. Have assisted numerous clients in the revision or creation of new components / products for their product lines and systems. • Testifying Experience o Testified in numerous State and Federal courts, in addition to Deposition testimony. o Testified in international arbitrations and the Svea Court of Appeal (Stockholm, Sweden).
