Structural and mechanical systems analysis for aircrafts
Employment of analysis tools (Excel spreadsheets) and/or Finite Elements (FEA) to measure strength of materials (metallic and composites)
Iterative design for optimal sizing (weight reduction) of parts and assemblies
Data Interpretation, load methods, safety factors according to the specifications and standards of certification agencies (FAA, EASA & TC)
Selection of critical loads for components (inertial, aerodynamic, thermal, pressurization, operating and jamming)
Interaction with other engineering teams: aerodynamics, loads, materials and processes and installation
Analysis for the relocation of systems, aerodynamic parts or sensors (original or new) in the aircraft
Assessment of existing designs (models, plans and reports)
Evaluation of structural fatigue and tolerance to damage (DTA): stress prediction, fatigue life estimation and/or crack growth
Preparation and inspection of structural tests and their correlation with theoretical analyzes previously done
Conception, assistance and analysis of structural repairs
Support in the solution of production problems
Preparation of structural analysis reports
Planning, execution and reports of structural tests to be presented to the certification bodies
Communication and advice before certification delegates (DERs) of the FAA, EASA and Transport Canada
Design of aircraft components in metallic or composite materials
• Primary Structure: Fuselage sections, wings, empennage, engine support, control surfaces, doors
• Secondary Structures: Cabin interiors, aerodynamic structures, non-pressurized doors, instrument panels and systems installation
Selection of materials and manufacturing methods
CAD, CAM models, engineering drawings and other design documentation
