The ARP Engineering Team

Two valuable resources in the design of ARP products are Dr. Kenneth Foster and Russell Sherman, P.E. Both men have extensive backgrounds in mechanical engineering, metallurgy and stress analysis. Their academic credentials are substantial and their real world experience equally impressive.

Dr. Foster has a Ph.D. in Engineering Mechanics from Cornell University and has taught at several colleges. He was formerly the head of Stress & Dynamics at Hughes Aircraft, Space Systems division.

Some of the most valuable work done by Foster and Sherman includes analyzing various aspects of engine, chassis and driveline structural loads, and coming up with solutions to the problems at hand. In this manner, the ARP Research Team is able to continually expand the company’s product line.

Mr. Sherman has been awarded a fellowship from A.S.M. International, and holds a number of fastener patents.
