FEA Stress Analysis

Technical Skills Required:

• Strong experience in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using tools such as Abaqus, Ansys, LS-Dyna.
• Proficiency in stress analysis, mechanical behavior prediction, and failure mechanism evaluation.
• Familiarity with meshing tools (e.g., Hypermesh, Unigraphics) and data management systems (e.g., Teamcenter).
• Understanding of material science, crack propagation, contact mechanics, and thermo-mechanical fatigue.
• Ability to communicate complex FEA and stress analysis results to internal and external stakeholders.
• Knowledge of aerospace product integrity, liability, and certification frameworks Key Responsibilities:
• Perform stress analysis and FEA simulations to validate mechanical integrity of components such as fans, compressors, casings, combustors, turbines, and structures.
• Apply FEA tools (e.g., Abaqus, Ansys, LS-Dyna) to predict mechanical behavior under various loading conditions including fatigue (low & high cycle), creep, vibration, thermal loads, and extreme operating scenarios (blade-out, over-speed, burst duct).
• Conduct mechanical integrity assessments to ensure product robustness and compliance with design requirements.
• Support in-service engine safety through stress analysis and mechanical evaluations.
• Lead Design of Experiments (DoE) and mechanical testing to validate stress predictions and improve design reliability.
• Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams to ensure designs meet performance, manufacturability, cost, and weight targets.
• Define and execute analysis plans aligned with project milestones, cost, and quality goals.
• Recommend design optimizations using Robust Engineering principles and stress analysis insights.
• Drive continuous improvement in FEA methods, stress analysis processes, and mechanical integrity tools.
• Act as a subject matter expert in stress analysis and FEA, sharing knowledge across engineering functions. Qualifications:
• Degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Structural Engineering (BE/BTech/MSc/MEng).
• 2 to 5 years of hands-on experience in FEA, stress analysis, and mechanical integrity in aerospace or related industries.
