Boeing - Structures Engineering
Non-Disclosure Agreement: I will only disclose non-proprietary information regarding my work at Boeing. All images are public or given clearance.
As a summer intern at Boeing, I was tasked with the redesign of the sector-pinion gear drive and validating with stress analysis. Initial design incorporated beam theory hand calculations and fastener shear.
Later phases of the design was heavily validated with nonlinear FEA to maximize the plastic properties of the carburized steel. My final design iteration in CATIA resulted in 15% reduction in weight per sector gear.
Hands-On Trainings
As an intern, I was fortunate to delve in a few engineering trainings. I completed a carbon fiber layup and learned about common repairs done on composite frame aircrafts. I also trained in building a mock-up assembly. This gave me hands-on experience in installing Hi-Loks, rivets, lockwire, nutplates, and electrical harnesses.
