Vuk Blagojević MSc BEng

Client: Magna Powertrain ECS • Conducted fatigue stress analysis of various components and prepared reports for projects with BMW, Geely (China), and Daimler, utilizing ANSA, META, FEMFAT (Basic, Spectral, ChannelMAX), MAMBA, MNOISE, ABAQUS, and NASTRAN (SOL103, SOL111) • Developed Python and VBA scripts to automate tasks in ANSA/META • Revised the MAMBA user manual, enhancing the documentation (the software package is used in dynamic simulations of jointed structures like bolted frames)

Client: Andritz Hydro GmbH • Conducted static and fatigue stress analysis of water turbine components using ABAQUS and Siemens NX (China and India) and prepared reports • Calculated bolts in pretension using Mathcad and VDI 2230 • Developed scripts and GUI in Python and VBA to automate actions in ABAQUS, resulting in a significant reduction in time from hours to seconds for specific tasks

• Collaborated with AIRBUS Defense and Space on further developing stress analysis software Strength2000 (S2k) • Developed and validated HSB stress analysis methods using C++, Python and VBA • Designed and implemented method validation workflow, resulting in a huge process speed up • Conducted research on innovative stress analysis methodologies • Prepared method validation reports and online help documentation • Maintained direct contact with the Stress Methodology Department • Consultant – flap FEM model

• Conducted in-depth investigation on the topic of "Shape optimization of a geodetic aircraft fuselage" • Undertook a rigorous investigation on the topic of "Analysis and modelling of composite curved rear pressure bulkhead for civil aircraft" • Compiled the research findings, methodologies, and results into a comprehensive report, serving as the final Master Thesis • Presented the report to academic advisors and defended the research during the Master Thesis defense

Project: Bombardier Challenger 605 • Conducted comprehensive static analyses and generated the Structural Repair Manual, covering various structural elements such as frame, stringer, skin, bracket, lug, and more • Utilized Patran/Nastran for performing finite element analysis (FEA) to ensure accurate structural assessment • Executed damage tolerance analysis (DTA) using NASGRO to assess the aircraft's ability to withstand damage and maintain structural integrity

• Part of a team involved in the design, calculation, and manufacturing of a radio-controlled aircraft • Recognized with the esteemed "Richard Cheng Mechanical Engineering Design Award" for the best final year project and achieved the highest final mark among all other projects • Assumed responsibility for the stress engineering aspect of the project and fundraising • Developed a dedicated website for the project and created a captivating video showcasing the aircraft's maiden flight

• Prepared and delivered problem sets to a class of approximately 100 students, addressing their questions and providing guidance to facilitate their understanding of the course material • Created engaging lectures that effectively conveyed the subject matter, enabling the professor to deliver impactful presentations to the class • Developed strong public speaking skills through this valuable experience, promoting clear communication and fostering active engagement with students

• Conducted extensive research on the Shot Peening Process of metal parts • Developed optimized "Shot Peening Design Guidelines" for the new project C-Series, which is now known as Airbus A-220 • Prepared a comprehensive impact report for industry partners and professors, highlighting the significant findings and valuable insights obtained from the research
