Abstract:
Gas Turbine Aero-Engine (or Jet Engine) components design and life part management is a complex process. This extends from introducing highly loaded parts under extreme conditions which needs to be designed and validated through experiments. Since most of the testing capability is often limited to specific points, the extended use of simulation constitutes a fundamental part of the full life cycle of the components. The current work is providing an overview of different fields where the usage of complex structure mechanics is typically required with the major implied type of non-linearity during the design and numerical validation of components.
Speaker Info:
Dr Pierangelo Duó studied at the University of Turin (Italy) and completed his MSc at the École Centrale (France) with a work over Wear and Fretting Fatigue. He specialised in the field of structural Mechanics with a PhD at Oxford University in the FOD or Foreign Object Damage applied to Aero-Gas Turbine field, which combines Impact and High Cycle Fatigue.
In Year 2005 he joined Rolls-Royce Deutschland in Germany where he started his career as Stress Engineer in the Compressor Department working over numerous components, blades, stators, casing and variable mechanism. Later he moved in the rotating critical components (such as Disc, Blisk, Shafts, Drums) where he has been working on stress and lifing and special process application, including process modelling. He successfully contributed to multiple Aero-engine certifications such as the V2500 Select, the BR725 and the new Pearl 15, to name few.
Today Pierangelo holds a Technical Specialist function in the Critical Rotating Parts Lifing Design Engineering team focusing on Business Aviation. He has been leading several R&T Projects and work-packages (National and EU) and he is author of international publications as well as multiple patents.
