Ted Diehl, Ph.D.
As CEO, Ted is responsible for all aspects of Bodie strategy and business operations.
Ted is also responsible for strategy and technology development for Bodie's Engineering
Division. He has been an active participant in CAE and Physical Testing communities for over 35
years, representing companies in several industries. His primary focus is developing
methods to solve industrial problems through a creative, yet pragmatic, mix of
experimental, computational, and theoretical approaches.
Dr. Diehl pioneered many FEA-oriented digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms, initially for use in
cell-phone impact mechanics. He later expanded those DSP approaches to a vast array of explicit dynamics
modeling issues such as difficult quasi-static analyses and failure simulations. A few of his many industrial
successes include development of ABAQUS-based methods to analyze copier sheet mechanics, efficient and
robust methods for simulating fabrics under severe loading, improved utilization of cohesive elements, and
many novel experimental and modeling methods to quantify nonlinear material and structural response.
