The Hiring Manager
Dear Manager:
I am writing this letter in response to the announcement of the job opening for the position, Sr Structures
Analyst. Here is the summary about my expertise and experience of structural analysis in the professional
career.
(1) 13 years of experience in aircraft/aerospace structural analysis,
(2) 15 years of experience in simulation and modeling using MSC.Nastran and MSC.Patran,
(3) 30 years of industry experience in linear/nonlinear/transient finite element simulation and modeling for
structures and their components in engineering fields,
(4) Many years of experience in using LS-DYNA, ANSYS, ABAQUS
I used to be a stress lead with around 13 years of experience in structural analysis for aircraft structures including
commercial and military aircraft structures; and aerospace structures such as satellite composite platforms and
launch vehicle system. I have also around 30 years of experience in nonlinear finite element analysis. As a stress
lead at Korean Air, I performed the following structural analysis;
(a) Stress Analysis of KT-1 (a Turbo-Prop) Fuselage with Agency for Defense Developments,
Finite element full modeling of the entire fuselage by PATRAN PLUS and finite element analysis by
MSC.Nastran,
Stress analysis and detailed design for Aircraft frames (bulkheads), Longerons, stringers, skins using classi-
cal hand calculations,
The Excellent Aerospace Engineer in 1999, awarded by the Secretary of Defense of Korea Government
(b) Stress Analysis of T-50 Golden Eagle (a Jet trainer) Fuselage with Lockheed Martin Engineers,
Finite element modeling of the aft fuselage by MSC.Patran and finite element analysis by MSC.Nastran,
Stress analysis and detailed design for Aircraft frames, Longerons, stringers, diagonal tension skins, and
Spinchute structure using classical hand calculations
(c) Test & Evaluation of T-50 Golden Eagle (a Jet trainer) Fuselage

(d) Structural Dynamic Analysis of the Composite Platforms of KOMPSAT 2, A Multi-Purpose Satellite of Ko-
rea, with Korea Aerospace Research Institute from 2001 thru 2002 Finite element modeling by MSC.Patran
and finite element analysis by MSC.Nastran Modal analysis and composite plate analysis Classical hand
calculations Satellite Launch Vehicle
(e) Coupled Load Analysis for KLSV-I, a Korean Space Launch Vehicle, with Korea Aerospace Research Insti-
tute from 2002 through 2004
(f) Craig-Bampton Component Modes Synthesis method
I have performed stressing, designing, modeling and simulating a great range of commercial/military, aerospace/aircraft
structures and structural components in aerospace industry. I have experience with aerospace technol-
ogy development, aircraft structural product design and development, structural test of materials
(fatigue life prediction and fracture toughness of materials), preparation of specifications, man-
ufacturing process study, research investigation, and stress report preparation. Much more, I have
been extensively exposed to a diverse range of nonlinear finite element theories including computational plasticity
(material nonlinearity), finite deformation (geometric nonlinearity) and contact algorithm development (bound-
ary nonlinearity). These linear/nonlinear static/dynamic/transient finite element analysis was performed by us-
ing commercial packages such as ABAQUS/CAE, ABAQUS/EXPLICIT, ABAQUS/STANDARD, LS-DYNA,
ANSYS Fluent, ANSYS Workbench, MSC.Patran and MSC.Nastran, CATIA V5, and SolidWorks.
Enclosed is a copy of my resume. I appreciate your attention on my application. I look forward to hearing
from you soon. If you require any further information, please contact me by e-mail on: ***@***.*** or
