Phd Structural Integrity | Stress Consultant | Fatigue & Fracture Mechanics | Aerospace, Automotive ,Railway

Profile Summary

I am a PhD-qualified Stress & Structural Integrity Consultant with 6+ years’ experience in fatigue, fracture, and stress analysis across aerospace, automotive, and railway industries. I specialise in helping companies optimise designs, reduce testing costs, and meet certification requirements. My work at Rolls-Royce Aerospace involved stress and structural analysis of Jet engines, where I delivered £40k+ savings through automated stress workflows. At BorgWarner, I eliminated repeat fatigue tests, saving £5k per test using predictive modelling. My doctoral research, funded at £150k+, produced novel fatigue life prediction methods, resulting in publications. My Masters research funded at £100k+, produced patented novel diffusion cell and multiple journal papers. Services Offered: FEA modelling (ANSYS, ABAQUS, NASTRAN) Fatigue & fracture mechanics (LCF/HCF, crack growth) Workflow automation (Python, MATLAB) Independent peer review of engineering analysis and articles Report reviews I work with Academia, SMEs, R&D teams, and suppliers who need high-quality engineering support but lack in-house specialists. My focus is on delivering cost savings, faster certification, and reliable analysis for high-value components.
