ENGINEERING AND ANALYZING AIRCRAFT PARTS AND STRUCTURES:
− Structural design and calculations of nose gear. I engineered all the parts of the gear leg. I used CATIA V5 (Part Design, Generative Structural Analysis) for modeling and for the Finite Element Analysis. I worked out a design process for engineering similar nose gears using excessively the tools offered by CATIA for parametric design (This was my Master Thesis).
− Structural design and calculations of main gear (CATIA V5 Part Design)
− Structural design of gear bays and bay-doors, actuator systems of bay-doors (CATIA V5 Generative Shape Design, Part Design, Assembly Design, DMU Kinematics)
− Engineering of cabin doors (CATIA V5 Generative Shape Design, Part Design, Assembly design, DMU Kinematics)
− Improvement of the load-bearing structures of a composite wing to a more effective and easier construction. (CATIA V5 Part Design)
− Aileron (flaperon) control system design, calculations, and controlling of production. (CATIA V5 Part design, Assembly Design, DMU Kinematics, Generative Structural Analysis)
− Load calculations on flaps and on its fixing parts (CATIA V5, ANSYS)
− Structural design and calculations of engine mounts for various engine alternatives (CATIA V5, ANSYS)
− Analysis and load tests of the composite horizontal stabilizer. (CATIA V5 Part Design, ANSYS) I had opportunity to compare the calculations with test results.
− Engineering of Plexiglas fixation to a pressurized cabin (CATIA V5)
AIRCRAFT DESIGN:
