Dr. Joseph P. Gallagher, a member of the Senior Executive Service, is Technical Adviser, Aircraft Structural Integrity, Engineering Directorate, Aeronautical Systems Center, Air Force Material Command, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The directorate provides leadership and support at senior government and industry levels in structural design, airframe safety and durability, and aircraft certification. Dr. Gallagher holds a doctorate in theoretical and applied mechanics from the University of Illinois. He has more than 35 years experience developing, promoting and applying damage tolerant, durability and structural integrity design methods to airframes, aircraft engines and mechanical subsystems. Dr. Gallagher has led teams of engineers and scientists in solving critical problems that have ensured the safety of aerospace structures. He is recognized as a leader for his structural integrity expertise in the areas of fatigue and fracture of engineering structures. Dr. Gallagher is also recognized for his organizational ability in building consensus between diverse and sometime opposing, technical groups, primarily as a result of his activities with ASTM International, and in support of the joint Department of Defense, Federal Aviation Administration, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Aging Aircraft Planning. ASTM International is the American Society for Testing and Materials. Dr. Gallagher has served as chair of numerous conferences that highlight advances in structural integrity technology. He has written more than 100 papers and technical reports that address the development and application of durability, damage tolerant, and structural integrity concepts and methodologies.
