Stress Engineer
. Worked on Bombardier Global 7000 Business Aircraft project as stress
engineer
- Performed analyses for preliminary ballast designs (Patran/Nastran)
- Sized tubes and brackets routings for all systems using self-
developed tools which provide faster and well-organized work flow
(static analysis, FEM: Patran/Nastran, PCL, VBA), (worked in
Bombardier site)
- Sized and optimized forward and afterward floor crossbeams and
vertical posts of series and FTV aircrafts (a 1D FEM creator tool
was developed for quickening frequently repeated analyses) (static
analysis, FEM: VBA, Patran/Nastran, PCL)
- Performed analyses of forward floor intercostals and attachments to
crossbeams (static analysis, FEM: Patran/Nastran, VBA)
- Sized all Rail/Rail, Rail/Bulkhead splices for forward and
afterward floor and overwing section with self-developed tools
which automate and quicken analysis procedure (static analysis:
VBA)
22.01.2007 - 10.02.2013 Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) Ankara,
Turkey
Stress Engineer
. Worked on Turkish Primary and Basic Training Aircraft (TAI Hurkus)
project as stress engineer
- Optimized canopy connection frames (static analysis, FEM:
Patran/Nastran, PCL)
- Sized and optimized longerons and connection fittings of longerons
to all other structures using several self-developed tools which
saved hundreds of labor time in the frequently repeated analyses
(static analysis, FEM: VBA, MathCad, Patran/Nastran, PCL)
- Sized composite fairings (static analysis, FEM: Patran/Nastran,
VBA)
- Analyzed hoisting and test fittings and actuator lugs (static
analysis, FEM: Patran/Nastran, PCL)
- Sized and optimized rudder control system parts, hydraulic and
oxygen systems' installations and harness routings (static
analysis, FEM: Patran/Nastran, PCL, VBA, MathCad)
- Sized and optimized wing to fuselage connection fittings with self-
developed tools and procedure which allowed performing frequently
repeated analyses thoroughly while saving labor time (static
analysis, FEM: Patran/Nastran, VBA)
- Sized all systems' tubes and brackets routings using self-developed
tools which made it possible to perform required analyses in quick
and organized way (static analysis, FEM: Patran/Nastran, PCL, VBA,
MathCad)
. Worked on a medium sized military transport aircraft (Lockheed C-130)
modernization project as stress engineer
- Prepared flight vibration test accelerometer configuration and
evaluated the vibration data for system installations
. Worked on a general utility helicopter (Sikorsky UH-60) modernization
project as stress engineer
- Analyzed the structural safety of harness routing for all systems
leading a small team who managed to finish the job in the given
time frame while solving existing problems effectively and
creatively (static analysis)
. Worked on a medium sized surveillance aircraft (CASA CN-235)
modernization project as stress engineer
- Analyzed and optimized two equipment rack structures each of which
weighs around 500 kg achieving lighter frame with more equipment
than initially planned (static analysis, FEM: Patran/Nastran, PCL,
VBA, FORTRAN)
- Analyzed waste system parts and assistant system integrations
(static analysis, FEM: Patran/Nastran)
- Successfully prepared analysis reports for certification and
evaluated other reports
. Worked on an attack helicopter (Bell AH-1) modernization project as
stress engineer
- Analyzed and optimized avionic compartment systems and replaced
cockpit systems installations (static analysis, FEM:
Patran/Nastran)
- Determined and analyzed all harness routing brackets by working in
the hangar during the routing process which resulted in earlier
finished job than initially scheduled (static analysis)
- Evaluated flight vibration test results for determining requirement
of vibration absorbers and positions
