Purdue University Calumet, Hammond, IN
Work
Experience: Stress Analyst, Belcan Engineering Group, LLC, Indianapolis, IN 5/2015-Present
Performed 2-D and 3-D finite element analyses of Rolls-Royce gas turbine engine components using ANSYS Classic and ANSYS Workbench. (Specific engines: T-56, Liftsystem for F-35 Lightning II, Advance1, AE3007)
Conducted a strength and creep analysis on a high pressure turbine vane for the Adavance1 engine to determine if the design was acceptable.
Assess the design of the 3 bearing swivel module’s grease shields on the F-35 Lightning II. Calculated high cycle fatigue margins for different components on grease shield and provided design solutions for components below limit margins.
Investigated the decoupling process of the T-56 safety coupling to determine flaws in the design.
Created and presented SLARPs (Structures and Lifting Audit and Review Process) to Rolls-Royce engineers showing the results of strength and lifting analyses.
Calculated low cycle fatigue lives for 2-D and 3-D compressor wheels for the MT7 engine.
