Herb LeKuch’s extensive background in mechanical design, analysis and test was developed over thirty years of aerospace, military and industrial experience. His principal technical work has been in shock and vibration engineering of electronic and mechanical products, also electronic packaging, structural and thermal analysis, environmental test and design engineering. His projects include Navy shipboard, wheeled and tracked vehicles, aircraft and spacecraft applications. For Navy shipboard shock protection, Herb developed elastomeric high deflection mounts.
Herb provides consulting and marketing support to firms that design and manufacture (as well as to users of) specialized shock and vibration isolation mounts and electronic enclosures. Herb can design or can assist with design, with engineering and with installation of isolated electronic racks.
Herb’s FEA work includes modeling and simulation of dynamic events. For commercial industries, Herb has directed mechanical construction projects in new power plant facilities, utilities and major transportation centers. Herb also analyzed and designed improved piping systems to be installed in a corrosive scrubber plant environment. Herb has been involved with SAVIAC (Shock and Vibration Information and Analysis Center) for nearly twenty years and in 2007 gave a training session on “Selection of Isolation for Navy Applications”.
Herb’s education includes BSME and MSME degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the City University of New York. To these he has added graduate level training in dynamics, structures, thermal analysis, optics and reliability and training on a variety of CAD and FEA software programs.
His early experience was with the Autonetics Division of North American Aviation, RCA Astro-Electronics and the Electro-Optics Group of Perkin-Elmer Inc. He was later with Aeroflex International for fifteen years, eventually becoming Chief Engineer and VP – Isolation Products Division. Still later Herb was President of the VMC/Korfund Subsidiary of Aeroflex.
