Dr. Charles Rankin, Consulting Specialist

Dr. Rankin worked for Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company for thirty-one years prior to joining Rhombus Consultants Group in 2003. He was the principal technical developer for the STAGS nonlinear finite-element program since 1985. Dr. Rankin’s contributions to the structural mechanics field include an objective corotational scheme for treating large rotation nonlinearities, numerical techniques for modeling post-buckling in collapsing shell structures, and prediction of crack propagation in shell structures exhibiting nonlinear response. For the latter, Dr. Rankin received a NASA Group Achievement Award as a member of the NASA LaRC Advanced Subsonic Technology Aging Aircraft Program Team. His current activities with Rhombus Consultants Group address generic large-strain material models, failure initiation and propagation in composite and metallic materials, and advanced finite-element technologies. Dr. Rankin received his Bachelor’s degree from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and his PhD from the University of Chicago in molecular physics.
