I was born in Naples 17thof the April 1978. I live in ROME, Via Roiate 5 Settecamini.
The 28thJune 2006 I graduated in Aerospace Engineer to the University of Naples “Federico II” with the vote 106/110. My thesis was performed in collaboration with Agusta Westland, the best company of Helicopters in the world. The objective was the calculation of the Flutter of the wing of a new tilt rotor aircraft named E.R.I.C.A. This is a hybrid aircraft that combines the vertical lift capability of an helicopter with the speed and range of turboprop airplane. I have modelled by means of FEM the wing structure of this aircraft and I have calculated the flutter using Nastran aeroelasticity code.
From 1stSeptember 2006 to 31st may 2007 I was employed in an Italian company called Foxbit s.r.l. placed in Naples. During this period I worked as consultant in Alenia Aeronautica in the structural design department. Alenia Aeronautica is the most important factory in Italy in aeronautical field. I worked on JSF Program that provided a structural design of military airplane F35-Lightning made by Lockheed Martin. In this program I covered the position of “Structural Analyst . The main objectives are the follows:
Design the structure of the wing by FEM. In particular I have performed the following set of analysis
· Static ( to verify the stress capability )
· Buckling ( to verify the instability of the web)
· Fatigue and damage tolerance
The code used for the calculus is MSC/NASTRAN, the pre post processor is PATRAN.
From 1stJune 2007 I was employed with permanent contract in Sofiter System Engineering, large consultant company in Rome. By means this company I started to work as mechanical designer consultant in Thales Alenia Space Italia in the Antenna industrial unit in the Thermo-Mechanical Design department. Thales Alenia Space is the Italian most important company in the Aerospace field. In particular the Antenna unit is world excellence centre for spacecraft antennas design, manufacturing and testing, with a particular attention to the antennas mechanism (deployment and re pointing). The main costumers are all the major world Aerospace companies (Europeans, Russia, Israel, Usa, Korean).
The mechanical department performs the mechanical design of all the parts of an antenna assembly. The competence starting from the configuration (lay out) and follow the design of all the sub assemblies. The antenna design is deeply involved in concurrent Engineering with Thermal and RF people to in order to fulfil a wide range of requirements.
The mechanical department is also involved during the manufacturing and testing of the hardware as consultant.
My first task was to be the Mechanical Analyst of MD1-MD2 deployable antennas placed on the lateral panel of MD1-MD2 Russian satellite.
The main objectives of this task was to design the composite structure of three antennas by FEM. All the activities was under the responsibility of a mechanical responsible. In particular, during the design, I have performed the following set of Analysis by FEM:
· Modal (to verify the stiffness performance)
· Static (to verify the capability at low frequency <30Hz)
· Sine (to verify the capability at high frequency 30Hz÷100Hz)
· Acoustic (to verify the capability to sound pressure)
· Random (to verify the capability to the with noise)
· Thermal Distortion (to verify the sensitivity to the thermal environment)
· Hygroscopic (to verify the sensitivity to the humidity)
The Code used for the calculus is MSC/NASTRAN, the pre post processor is FEMAP and PATRAN.
During this period I was evolved in training activity to increase the NASTRAN skills. I participated to the static and dynamic course in Thales Alenia Space.
From December 2007 I followed the program W7 for Eutelsat. This program provided an antenna module structure carrying three large reflectors. The antenna module is a complex composite structure that provides reduced mass high stiffness and thermal stability it can connect directly the antenna farm to the satellite central cylinder in order to help the satellite to bring the load just around the stiffer part.
In this program I covered the positions of the mechanical analyst and Structural responsible. As mechanical analyst I performed all the fem analysis for to design the composite structure of the module while as structural responsible I covered the following tasks:
· Verify the mechanical requirements and technical documentation
· Participate to meetings with the client during the program milestone
· Have the responsibility of mechanical reports (i.e design report, technical notes)
· Make a presentation of the design and test during the milestone (PDR, CDR, TRR)
· Follow the manufacturing ( as consultant during criticality )
· Follow the test (Sine, Static, Acoustic, Thermal vacuum)
During this program was used for the reflectors skins a new generation of carbon fiber fabric (YSH50), in order to increase the stiffness and to be fully transparent to the RF.
The W7 program has fully pass all the design review and all mechanical tests. At the moment the antenna module has been successful integrated on satellite.
From September 2008 I was involved asstructural responsible in the frame of the program AMOS4 for IAI. The program provided an antenna module structure carrying seven reflectors and three lateral antennas. It is the first generation of flexible satellite carrying ten antennas with wide steering range.
This program is the biggest challenge in terms of the large composite structure designed in the antenna department. At this stage the program has successful passed the PDR phase.
