We were honored to have Mike Yang from ATA Engineering present at the SIMULIA Americas Users Conference, May 3-4, 2023 in Novi, Michigan.

Abstract: This presentation will provide an overview of the vibroacoustic challenges common to the aerospace industry. Covered topics include analysis objectives, definition of fluctuating pressure loads, and the use of wave6 to meet those objectives. The presentation will include specific and general examples

Bio: Dr. Yang earned his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University in 1997, and his Master of Science and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from The Pennsylvania State University in 2001 and 2003. He works at ATA Engineering (ATA), an employee-owned engineering services company dedicated to customer success through the delivery of innovative engineering solutions created by passionate, expert, multidisciplinary teams.

Dr. Yang serves as a senior technical advisor and the technical director of ATA’s acoustics technical team. In this role, he is responsible for mentoring junior engineers, assisting in business development efforts, and innovating new methods to keep ATA at the forefront of the technologies that customers will need. He played a major role in developing methods to predict random vibration environments during liftoff and ascent for NASA’s Orion and Ares I-X programs, for which he was a recipient of multiple NASA Group Achievement Awards. Dr. Yang has supported similar efforts for a wide variety of single-use and reusable commercial launch vehicles and is an expert in the vibroacoustic analysis of spacecraft.
