David
Rocheleau
Associate
Professor
Dr.
Rocheleau’s
group has
interest in
machine
design and
machine
component
design. His
group has
done work in
optimizing
the design
of
epicyclic
gear trains
to ensure
long life
and reduced
noise. Work
has also
been done in
helping
small to
medium size
companies in
a wide area
of product
design
issues. The
design
concepts are
modeled
using
Pro/ENGINEER
design
software and
analyses are
performed
with a
variety of
computer-aided-engineering
tools. His
group has
done work in
the modeling
of balance
of plants in
a
PEM
fuel cell
system.
Overall
design
issues
involving
kinematic
and
dynamics of
mechanisms,
from robots
to
prosthetic
devices,
have also
been
performed.
Dr.
Rocheleau
holds
several
patents,
primarily in
new product
innovation
devices.
