Worked in Robust Composite Repairs project. Created and analysed finite element (FE) models using MSC.Patran, MSC.Nastran and MSC.Marc. Studied various FE result outputs and composite failure modes to correlate FE results to experimental data. Wrote clear and concise technical reports based on completed work.

Deakin University, Waurn Ponds, Vic

Studied the clamp load loss of carbon fibre composite bolted joints in conjunction with Carbon Revolution. Manufactured carbon fibre specimens using hand lay-up and vacuum-assisted resin infusion techniques. Tested composite bolted joint specimens in static compression at room temperature and elevated temperatures to determine resin-dominated clamp load loss behaviour. Work was successful and continued to become my final year engineering project.
