Dave Dewees, PE. has nearly two decades of
experience in the refining, petrochemical, and power generation industries,
specializing in advanced materials and structural integrity analysis. Over the
past 19 years, he has developed deep expertise in coke drum reliability,
fatigue and data analysis, and high-temperature hydrogen attack (HTHA) modeling
and assessment. His technical background includes material property data
analysis and allowable stress development, advanced material behavior modeling,
creep and relaxation, cyclic plasticity, damage mechanics, and creep-fatigue
evaluation.
Dave is also highly experienced in
nonlinear fracture mechanics, including explicit flaw modeling, as well as
thermal stress and fatigue analysis and weld residual stress modeling. He is a
long-standing member of ASME (Sections I, III, and VIII) and API committees,
and actively participates in AWS initiatives related to weld residual stress
modeling. Dave is based in the Cleveland, Ohio area and works out of the
Medina, Ohio office.
