Description
PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY * Good Understanding of Engineering Principles and Theories in Solid Mechanics, Dynamics, Thermal and Fluid Mechanics * Over 20+ years of combined experience as Stress/Structural, Dynamics and Thermal Analyst working in aerospace companies * Long experience (many observations) in "WHAT THINGS CAN GO WRONG" in engineering analyses and manufacturing environments (corrected many of them) * Extensive experience in the analyses for Turbine Engine Components (hot or cold, static or rotating) such as stress, vibration, and lifing (fatigue and crack growth) analyses * Extensive experience in Structural/Stress analysis with FE tools (ANSYS, Workbench, NASTRAN, PATRAN, and ABAQUS classic) best in ANSYS * Linear and non-linear analyses: large displacements, plasticity and chance of state (contact) * Extensive experience in Hand (or classic) analysis with Roark, Bruhn, NASA Technical Documents and other specific company documents used MIL-5 many times * Dynamics analyses (ANSYS or NASTRAN /PATRAN: modal, sinusoidal & random vibration, shock, response spectrum, modal or direct transient analysis) * Long experience with both metallic and composite materials (and allowables development) * Long experience with components, assemblies and mechanisms (and Free Body Diagrams) * Many projects included analysis of fasteners, joints and fittings * Good understanding of hot structures & thermal stresses * Experience with New Product Designs, Design Modifications and Repairs * Well experienced in interpreting FE Analysis results * Have a long list of items for quality check for FE Models * Reviewed and, if required, got corrected 330+ structural/stress reports in several companies * Wrote possibly 40+ structural/stress related reports in various companies * Wrote possibly 15+ thermal reports in various companies * Made many presentations to customers (as many as max 150 people) & upper management * Loads (detailed knowledge of aero, thermal and dynamic loads, like inertia, maneuver & crash) * Fatigue and crack growth analyses (such as AFGROW used NASGRO at Boeing) * Thermal Analysis with SINDA or ANSYS (steady or transient) * Design check with CATIA v.5 and ProE (or drawings), some familiarity with SolidWorks * Understanding the concepts for Design for Reliability * Mathcad, Fortran, C++, Basic programming * Wrote several programs for analysis and data post processing * Microsoft products (Excel, PowerPoint, Word) * Can work independently (no need for supervision) * Good team player (life will not be better with retaliations) * Very highly self motivated for results * Mentored several young engineers in several companies (about 120 during my last job) * Skill planning for a group of engineers * An activist for lean principles and constant improvement * Trained 98 engineers at Boeing HB and about 120 engineers at IA. * Have a long list of Lessons Learned from 10+ companies
