Resume of Craig Boyak Experience1997 to present, self employed - 1994 to 1997, Mikesell & Boyak Associates ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, Sect VIII, Divs. 1 & 2 - Conducted design reviews, failure analyses and re-rates, prepared design reports for a wide variety of refinery, chemical processing and thermal processing equipment. Provided summarization and background to CA state engineering management. Thermal analysis - Conducted steady-state and transient heat transfer analyses of metallurgical processes chambers utilizing induction and plasma arc heating devices, thermometry instrumentation, and pumps. Mechanical analysis - Developed design bases and capacity evaluations for hydrocarbon processing internal structures. Training - Taught class on high temperature design criteria and methods to Northern Alberta chapter of ASME for continuing education of engineers. Taught 2 day class in ASME Section VIII, Div 2 to Northern Alberta chapter of ASME. Provided in-house training of engineers for FEA utilization. Design automation - Wrote VBA program implementing design and analysis of reactor internals. VBA programming areas include user interface form design, Excel and Word connectivity and file management. Business development - Conducted pre-bid engineering for a Russian company’s fabrication of a high pressure mixing vessel with interior water jacket and breech-lock closure. 1985 to 1994, Robert L. Cloud & Associates, Inc., Berkeley, CA - Engineer. Pressure Vessels Conducted a fitness for service review of 9 paper batch digesters. Reviewed UT results and overlay repair reports to define corrosion rates for future life prediction. OSHA 1910 regulation compliance. Wrote the stress report and fatigue life prediction for large vessel consisting of equal sized intersecting cylinders subjected to internal pressure and seismic loads. Reviewed the design of a prototype radial flow ammonia reactor to ascertain fatigue life. Reviewed the design of a conical Y-juncture for outlet of pumphouse on California aqueduct to ascertain the effect of an out-of-round fabrication condition. Conducted an analysis of a coker reactor stiffener failure. Effort included a transient, thermal stress analysis (by FEA) to determine the range of stress for fatigue life evaluation. Rerated a fluidized catalyst cracking unit (FCC) unit to new design conditions for restamping of vessel. Conducted a failure / fatigue analysis of a cone-cylinder juncture of coker reactor. Involved developing a FEA model with variable weld profiles to develop ranges of peak stresses for fatigue life predictions. Conducted fitness for service determination of heat exchanger nozzle. General structural mechanics Reviewed FEA analyses conducted in support of design methodology reviews. RLCA was active in reviews of nuclear facility design criteria. Documents utilizing FEA techniques came to me. Reviewed design criteria of early nuclear weapons facility. Work involved documenting evolution of seismic design criteria and reviewing existing reports for compliance with past and today’s standards. Developed design criteria for rigid clamp systems for piping. Conducted FEA analyses to identify significant parameters affecting stresses and stability. Conducted FEA analyses of thermal and pressure loads on U-bolt type pipe clamp systems. Training Wrote coursework for class in ASME Section VIII, Div. 2 (90+ pages). Coursework summarized requirements for design specifications, the design basis and criteria, design based on stress analysis, fatigue analysis, shells, flanges, openings, nozzles, materials, welding, testing and records. Taught a class in Sect VIII, Divs. 1 and 2 to Newport News Shipbuilding with specific focus on the criteria and finite element analysis for a high pressure flange including gasket design. Taught a class in design and analysis of ASME Section III, Class 1 vessels to the Brazilian Navy in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Focused on 3D stress state and interpretation for use in ASME Code rules and ANSYS solid modeling techniques. Taught a class in ASME Section VIII, Div. 2 in St. Petersburg and Volgograd, Russia Taught a class in ASME Section VIII, Div. 1 in St. Petersburg, Russia Taught classes in software usage for business and engineering applications in Volgograd, Russia. Classes included Windows, Word, Excel, Vessel Design program and interface to AutoCad, project management and electronic communications. Computing Identified needs for company’s PC/minicomputer network equipment. Also wrote purchase specification, solicited bids, chose the contractor, and worked with the contractor through installation and training of our engineers. Took over responsibility for PC systems support. Included providing recommendations, purchases, configuring and training of hardware and software. Business development Assisted a Russian pressure vessel fabricators in St. Petersburg and Volgograd, Russia in preparing for Accreditation by the ASME for U and U-2 stamps Set up office in St. Petersburg, Russia for supporting ASME accreditation activities ('94) Conducted pre-bid engineering for dozens of vessels and heat exchangers for a Russian fabricator. Handled bid communications between parties.
