In the first edition of our Series of Summer Intern posts, we reintroduce Ethan Loyd, a Mechanical Engineering student from Galva, KS that just completed his sophomore year at Oklahoma Christian University. This is Ethan's second summer working at Bradbury. This time around, Ethan has been tasked with designing his own Rollformer. Some of his goals include detailing drawings, calculating speeds and horsepower, and analysis. One area Ethan has been focusing on recently is Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on his design. Ethan says that his reasoning skills have been tested on this project and he has found how practical mechanics and his classes play a role in his real world design. He also mentioned how helpful his coworkers have been and feels that he is gaining a lot of knowledge he can take back to school with him.
