Vehicle structures – support on mechanical design of mechanical components, from a structural point of view:

Analysis types:
• Static analysis: linear and non linear analysis
• Transient analysis, modal analysis.
• Modal analysis (natural frequency optimization)
• Fatigue analysis
• Complex eigenvalue analysis

Mirafiori headquarters - EMEA product development.

I was selected in a large panel of candidates, for a staff leasing program in virtual engineering department of EMEA product development.

2 year staff leasing- structural analyisis of chassis components of EMEA product development car.

- Static, transient analysis, FRF, modal analysis.

- Implicit and explicit, linear and non linear analysis (contacts, materials, geometric non linearity),

- Fatigue calculation of chassis components (Mac Pherson suspension, multi-link suspension, engine mounts, spring leaf suspensions, brake systems, cradles), with different typer of loads, time hystories loads, block loads from testing bench, road data acquisition).

- Misuse phenomena modelling (vertical, longitudinal, transversal) by means FEA methods.

- Bolts, welded joints, bushes calculation with FEA and hand calculation methods (VBA, EXCEL).

Main projects:

- Fiat Ducato BEV

- Fiat 500

- Junior Jeep

- Jeep COmpass

High perfomance motorcycles development.

Consultant - structural analysis of motorcycles chassis.

- Static and dynamic analysis

- Linear and non linear analysis (contacts, materials, geometric non linearity).

Structural analysis and design of chassis components (rear suspension, steering system, damper swing arm, chassis) fatigue and strength calculation.

Structural layout concept of chassis (1D FEA modelling of tubulars, stiffness and static calculation).
