Experience

Mr. Durham joined Chrysler Corporation in May 1966. He is a member of the Theo­
retical Aerodynamics Group, Aerodynamic Section. Since joining Chrysler, he has conduct­
ed a theoretical analysis of the aerodynamic damping in roll and pitch of several wire-guided
anti-tank missile configurations.

Mr. Durham also participated in a study that was conducted to predict the flow field
produced by a reaction control jet. The study was concerned with the prediction of the shape
and path of the exhaust plume and the force field created on the body. The study was conduct­
ed in both the subsonic and supersonic flow regimes. Mr. Durham also participated in the
aerodynamic study used for Chrysler's reentry data capsule (Re: CHSO proposal HF-636).
He was concerned with the static aerodynamics of the capsule and the base pressure experi­
enced by the capsule.

Prior to joining Chrysler, Mr. Durham was employed as a student technician by the
University of Alabama Aerospace Department. A study was conducted to determine the ef­
fect of shear lag on the stress distribution in integrally stiffened panels with cutouts and
tapered stiffeners. Mr. Durham gathered experimental data to verify the theoretical pre­
diction methods that he helped develop.
