PROFILE
As stress engineer, I have acquired an excellent practical experience by delivering of the Intermediate
and Tail Rotor Gearboxes for two helicopters (AW149 and AW129) from layout concept to flight test
prototype delivery.
Design, Analysis, Testing and reporting for Certification has been the milestone achieved since
October 2007, project start, to present, prototype delivery and certification.
During this time, I have been selected to lead the usage of FE packages and represent the department
on this matter.

EXPERIENCE
Senior stress engineer, AgustaWestland Transmissions Centre of Excellence
Definition, test and delivery of intermediate and tail rotor gearboxes for AW129 and
AW149 helicopters projects:
2007 – 2008
Gearboxes design layout and basic stressing.
Damage tolerance definition (shortcrack approach) of gearboxes housings.
2008 - 2009
Gearboxes housings, gears, coupling flanges static limit strength and fatigue (high
and low cycle) definition using CATIA Analysis (GPS/GAS) for quick iteration
process and Patran/Nastran and AFC (Abaqus For Catia) for detailed analysis.
Fatigue analysis made with a combination of hand calcs, FE results and Agusta
proprietary methods.
Gears and housings normal modes and force response analysis, Patran/Nastran.
Basic bearings configuration, using ASMELife
Stud and other fasteners sizing using ESDU and Bruhn cals.
2009 - 2010
Testing activities: static and HCF/LCF TGB housing and mast tests. Loads
definition and test rig configuration (in conjunction with test laboratory).
Instrumentation output results analysis and correlation/comparison with FE
analysis.
Reporting of analysis and testing for Airworthiness authorities.
