Structural Analysis Engineer
CurrentNEW DEVELOPMENT AIRPLANE PROGRAM (May 2019 - Current):• Conducted trade studies including airplane configuration studies. and worked closely with the customer/OEM to meet requirements and weight targets.• Traveled on-site to the customer/OEM for working meetings to assist with overall airplane development,• Analyzed metallic structure by running crack growth and residual strength scenarios using NASGRO.737 MAX FUSELAGE PROGRAM (June 2013 - May 2019):• Responsibilities include/have included classical metallic static and fatigue analysis using industry accepted hand analysis methods and allowables (i.e. MMPDS, Bruhn, etc.).• Worked special stress analysis tasks to satisfy FAA and Boeing Requirements including Sonic Fatigue, Rotor Burst/Discrete Source Damage Events, General Fuselage Monocoque Stability and WIndmilling, etc.• Significant layout/drawing reviews (2D and 3D Catia drawings/solids), working closely with various Integrated Product Team (IPT) groups (i.e. design, materials & processes (M&P), operations, manufacturing teams, etc.).• Substantial fracture mechanics/damage tolerance analysis on a variety of fuselage primary structure including fuselage skin, frame splices, bulkhead fittings, stringer splices, etc.• Damage tolerance analysis experience mainly used Boeing methods, but familiar with additional methods/programs such as Nasgro. • Familiar with Boeing analysis tools including MOSS-Duberg, FAMOSS, IAS, DTANAL, FEADMS.• Helped with Certification of the 737 MAX working with OBAR's to understand and meet FAA requirements (i.e. 14 CFR Part 25). • Worked as part of the internal loads team refining modeling skills using MSC Nastran, Patran, and FEMAP.• Familiar with integrating a refined/fine-mesh FEM into a broader coarse mesh FEM. • Modeled different variants of the 737 MAX fuselage and developed an understanding of internal loads on the aircraft caused by specific external loading conditions.
