In my role as a Trainee at the European Space Agency - ESTEC, I specialized in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Damage Tolerance Analysis (DTA) for unmanned spaceflight structures. I also focused on defining non-destructive inspection (NDI) methods for potential fracture-critical items under a reduced fracture control program in accordance with ECSS-E-ST-32-01C. Additionally, I delved into the dynamics of satellite structures, conducting sinusoidal and random vibration analysis.
