• Static and Fatigue calculations (Hand calculations, DFEM, ISAMI, GFEM load redistribution)


• Calculation of Seq stresses (fatigue and crack propagation), understanding of mission profiles, rainflow counting, Miner's rule, stress files, FESPS databases.


• Calculation of Stress concentration (Kt) values using Petersons' or DFEM or ISAMI modules.


• Ability to read the drawings and interpret fastener diameter, fastener fit, fastener spec & type, surface protection treatment to be useful for fatigue calculations.


• ISAMI modules (Metallic Filled Hole, Composite Filled Hole, Lug analysis, Corin Analysis, Notch Sensitivity, Damage Tolerance, Tension Fitting, Fatigue Spectrum Analysis (1D & 2D), Fatigue DFEM Initiation Modules, etc.)

Required Domain Expertise

• Sound knowledge of structural design principles, aircraft loads and Airbus fatigue manuals


• Experience in fatigue and damage tolerance analysis of aircraft structural components (Airbus methods and tools would be preferable)


• Background in design and sizing of aircraft primary structure components and parts


• Ability to liaise/negotiate with design, stress, EU teams and customer services


• Basic scripting - Finite element method / finite element analysis (FEM / FEA)


• Very good analytical and reasoning skills Tools: Patran/Nastran, Hypermesh, ISAMI (preferred), AF-Twin, NASGRO, SAFE, DAMTO
