Work History
Flight Structural Load Engineer
Aeronautical Development Agency
02.2024 - Current
- Developed a structural model for static aeroelasticity (SOL 144) in Nastran from the coefficient of pressure data from aerodynamic analysis.
- Identified critical maneuver load cases by analyzing shear force, bending moment, and torsion moment across the fuselage and wing for stress monitoring.
- Load cases are generated for various Mach numbers, across altitudes for various flight mass configurations.
- Integrated stores to the aircraft for the required configuration load analysis.
- Regulatory Awareness: A practical understanding of airworthiness standards for military aircraft, MIL-SPECs.
- Proficient in MSC Nastran debugging and analysis in SOL 101, 103, 144.
- Collaborated with cross-functional teams to streamline project workflows and ensure timely deliverables.
Aircraft Structural Optimization
02.2024 - Current
- Performed composite wing skin panel optimization to achieve optimum weight while ensuring safety margins.
- Constraint satisfaction: maintaining the material failure index under margin, protecting the panel from buckle, and ensuring the right aeroelastic efficiencies.
- RESULTS from Modefrontier software: By pareto front analysis found three optimal design cases with balanced mass and displacement, saving 8% of total wing skin weight.
Stress Work
- Global to Local FEA: Performed global to local structural analysis on aircraft wing and radome structures, transitioning load paths and force equilibrium from coarse GFEM to high-fidelity DFEM local models using HyperMesh, and executed modal and linear static analysis for integrity.
- CAD-based mesh modification: updated existing meshes to reflect change orders and geometric updates directly from 3D models.
