Do you like Stress? I do!!! I love Stress Engineering and I always looking for new challenging aerospace or mechanical applications to solve.I am a professional stress engineer with 17+ years of working experience in Finite Element Analysis (FEA). I am also an Assistant Professor at Hellenic Air Force Academy teaching stress analysis of aerostructures. My expertise is to perform static and dynamic (fatigue) structural analyses of mechanical components, to large-scale structures considering metallic or composite materials, combining both finite element and classical analytical methods. Additionally, I can lead or support analysis validation and verification activities including test support if necessary.I have formidable experience in, Project Management, CAD Design, Communication, and Collaboration at the International level (with partners such as AIRBUS, CIRA, EADS, Fraunhofer, Hellenic Aerospace Industry, TAP, etc.), Technical Reporting & Presentation, Scientific Publications, Training Researchers and Teaching of Undergraduates.Specialties: • Stress Analysis of Aeronautical Structures • Buckling Analysis (Linear and Non-linear)• Structural Optimization • Simulation Driven Product Development: FEA & CAD design• Linear and Non-Linear Finite Element Analysis (FEA)• Structural Integrity aspects of Advanced Structures• Fracture Mechanics (Crack propagation, delamination, etc.) • Damage Tolerance Design• Adaptive Structures • Product Development and Engineering Management• Hand calculations (ESDU, Bruhn, Niu, etc.)• E-tool development (simulation) for enhancing pilots’ trainingSoftware Skills• ANSYS MECHANICAL (with APDL Scripting Language), ABAQUS, CATIA V5, MATLAB, Microsoft Office (Including Excel with VBAs)I can guarantee a stress-free collaboration, as a team member or individual, with excellent English communication skills (writing and verbal) and experience in producing high-quality technical documentation.
