Dr. Robert Lindsay Wells

 


I moved to Texas from Clearwater, Florida where I was in private practice as a consultant (specializing in software and systems for vibration analysis and machine monitoring). Before that I was on the Mechanical Engineering faculty at the University of  Louisiana at Lafayette.

My graduate work was done in the Machine Tool Research Center at the University of Florida in Gainesville where I developed sensor-based systems for monitoring the metal cutting process in CNC machinery. My areas of specialization are vibration analysis, control systems, machine monitoring, and manufacturing. I am especially interested in the integration of sensors and computers with dynamic mechanical systems ... a field generally referred to as "mechatronics." You can look over my resume [PDF] to learn more about my engineering and academic background.

One of my engineering software applications is PLOTTER, a compact but powerful program for graphing and evaluating data from experiments or simulations. It is widely used at universities, companies and government facilities. Click here to learn more about the program. Let me know if you would like to obtain a copy ... it's free for UT-Tyler students, faculty and staff. Revised 07-03-2006.
