Mr. Cuadrado is experienced and has received specialized training in the areas of accident reconstruction and crash simulations, and supports a variety of full-scale vehicle tests performed at Exponent’s Test and Engineering Center. Mr. Cuadrado’s education, training, and experience include technical accident investigation and reconstruction, vehicle dynamics, computer-aided-drafting (CAD) software, 3-D vehicle dynamics and collision simulation programs, as well as MADYMO and finite element modeling. His support has extended to the Technology Development practice Tire Rapid Entanglement and Arresting Device (TREAD) program. Mr. Cuadrado extensively contributed to the design, testing, and manufacturing of the non-lethal vehicle stopping device. Prior to joining Exponent, Mr. Cuadrado attended The George Washington University, where his field of study was in transportation safety. His studies included vehicle crashworthiness, occupant safety, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS), injury analysis, and crash test analysis. During this time, his research focused on the development of a Hybrid-III anthropomorphic test device (ATD) finite element model. Secondary research efforts included an analysis of the pedestrian crash data study (PCDS) to develop pedestrian impact risk curves. For his Master’s thesis, Mr. Cuadrado developed a methodology to duplicate the kinematics of a far-side occupant in a sled test. His research utilized a statistical analysis of the National Automotive Sampling System/Crashworthiness Data System (NASS/CDS), finite element modeling, and MADYMO modeling. The results of his research prove the feasibility of using sled tests as a means of testing far-side occupants for a wide range of crash environments, including cases with high yaw rates.
