Dr. Kurt M. Marshek is the Harry L. Kent Endowed Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. Marshek is a Professional Engineer licensed in Texas and Ohio, specializing in mechanical design and accident reconstruction.

Biography[edit]

Dr. Marshek is a descendant of a long line of automotive engineers. His grandfather was an inventor of truck universal joints; his father obtained a patent for his role in the design of a soft tire all-terrain vehicle,[1] the Rolligon. Dr. Marshek, himself, has been an active member of the Society of Automotive Engineers SAE; and was consecutively Treasurer, Secretary, and Vice-Chairman of the Texas Gulf Coast Section of the Society of Automotive Engineers. In 1973, Marshek was awarded the SAE Ralph R. Teetor Award for his contributions to research, teaching and student development.

Career[edit]

Marshek's industry experience includes Falk, Eaton, Norton, and Western Electric. He is an expert in vehicle component design and analysis, having supervised the design and construction of numerous vehicles including all-terrain, electric, race, hovercraft, and airships. In 1975, he joined a team of engineers and scientists at the NASA Johnson Space Center in designing an airship cargo vehicle. Marshek has reconstructed accidents and has been a mechanical engineering consultant for several companies since 1968.

Dr. Marshek became an Assistant Professor at University of Connecticut in 1971 and an Associate Professor at University of Houston in 1975, before joining The University of Texas at Austin in 1981, becoming a Full Professor in 1985. Dr. Marshek's research focuses on vehicular ride quality, design of high-speed ground corridor, vehicle speed determination from tire yaw marks, and vehicle dynamics using remotely controlled scale models. He has also developed vehicle anti-theft systems, supervised work on pre- and post-impact phase modeling of vehicular collisions, and performed experimental analysis of tire marks generated during vehicle control limit maneuvers.

Dr. Marshek used finite element analysis, friction, wear and lubrication sciences to develop improved products for the mechanical design industry. He supervised numerous engineers, students, and technicians working on funded projects.

SAE Mini-Indy[edit]

Dr. Marshek initiated a national inter-university SAE automotive vehicle race competition in 1979, similar to the famous Indy 500 race, to foster students' application of classroom concepts to real-world engineering.[2] The competition, called Mini-Indy, was also influenced by Prof. John Stephens-led Mini-Baja competition. The 1979 Mini-Indy race which was hosted by the University of Houston had 13 participating university undergraduate SAE teams. In 1980, the University of Texas at Austin student branch of the SAE subsequently started the long-running Formula SAE competition based on Dr. Marshek's Mini-Indy.[3]

Awards[edit]

  • The ASEE Fred Merryfield Award for excellent teaching in engineering design - 1988;
  • Invitation to membership in the New York Academy of Sciences - 1997;
  • Fellow, National Society of Forensic Engineers - 2001.
