Emanuele Mesiani

Master Degree in Aerospace Engineering, specialised in Aerospace structures and materials. Master Degree thesis on intralaminar Damage criterion for laminate composites in Aerospace applications. First work experience in mechanical design of Aerospace and industrial components. This experience improved and increased my knowledge of mechanical design, components machining and testing. Appointed as Quality Manager and I attended the ISO 9001 course. Updated the company quality system and successfully passed the external audit to achieve the certification. Working as Stress, Fatigue & Damage Tolerance Engineer in Leonardo Helicopters. The main tasks are: calculation of fatigue life of critical components, damage tolerance analysis, helicopter usage spectra analysis, fatigue tests on material coupons and components, writing of test plans and test report of helicopter components (such as structures components, rotors components, transmissions and gears) for their civil certification. Learning and understanding the Civil Aircraft certification rules and the airworthiness regulations. Real time flight telemetry experience and post-flight data analysis for the instrumented flying prototypes. Working on the civil tilt-rotor AW 609, which is an innovative project in a very stimulating environment, which every day teaches something new, in particular the constancy to look towards the future. Working as Focal Point for Composite Fatigue and Damage Tolerance Methodologies. Definition and development of Fatigue and Damage Tolerance analysis methodologies for composite materials. Bibliographic research to keep up-to-date knowledge of the state of the art of composite material analysis and their finite element modeling. Definition of guidelines for fatigue and damage tolerance analysis and modeling of helicopter composite components via FEM software. Appointed as Next-Generation Fast Rotorcraft Fatigue Project Leader. The main tasks are: Management of the Fatigue & Damage Tolerance Qualification Plan for the Certification of both Dynamic and Structural Systems, Management of the project in terms of planning, budgeting and progressing, Retaining the technical responsibility of the project, defining guidelines, priorities and recovery actions and resolving project critical issues, Engaging proactively with Technological Areas pursuing Fatigue & DT aspects along the design, analysis and testing definition.
