Todd Rook
Lead Analytical Development Engineer
Goodrich Aerospace

Dr. Rook is Lead Analytical Development Engineer at the Aircraft Wheels and Brakes division of Goodrich Aerospace. His responsibilities include advancing predictive modeling capabilities to aid in the integration of brake and landing gear systems. As part of this task, he has served on a Joint Technical Committee with Cessna, which addresses the use of simulation tools for ensuring a seamless integration of supplier and OEM equipment. He also serves on the INCE-USA Technical Committee on Experimental and Instrumentation Techniques and the ASME Technical Committee of Vibration and Sound.

Prior to working at Goodrich Aerospace, Dr. Rook was Manager of Sound and Vibration at the Copeland Corporation (a division of Emerson Electric) with responsibility for the sound quality audit of compressor production at nine global facilities, as well as NVH modeling efforts. Dr. Rook’s NVH simulation experience also includes several projects on gear and clutch rattle for Nissan Motor Company, including a fellowship at the Nissan Technical Center in Atsugi, Japan.

His research interests include noise reduction of electric motors (e.g. switched reluctance motors), numerical techniques for nonlinear dynamics, multi-body dynamics, component synthesis techniques, and structural/acoustic intensity.

Dr. Rook received the B.S.M.E., M.S.M.E. and Ph.D. degrees from the Ohio State University.
