Structural / Mechanical Analysis Engineer

Location: New Berlin, WI 53151 (onsite)

Fulltime/ Permanent

 

 Job Duties:

  • Perform analytical calculations to compute the stresses developed in structural and mechanical components of crane.
  • Knowledge of different static and fatigue failure theories based on stress life approach is required to compute the allowable stresses according to industry standards.
  • Evaluate the static strength and fatigue life of fasteners (welds, bolts and keys), shafts, bearings, gears. Expertise in standards like AWS D1.1/D14.1, AISC, CMAA and AGMA is a must.
  • Use of MathCad, ANSYS, KC Developed Programs and other in-house built analytical tools to perform and present mechanical and structural calculations of crane components conforming to the specifications of NOG, AISC, ASME, AGMA, CMAA, NUREG, EN, KTR, etc.
  • Develop programs in MathCAD, Excel and APDL to standardize and automate these calculations. The ability to perform calculation is vital in order to validate a calculation using a secondary/independent method of analysis.
  • Build detailed 3-D ANSYS models of overhead, gantry and jib cranes to exactly simulate the behavior of trolley, bridge and the complex motion of rope during a seismic event. 
  • Perform global and local buckling analysis of crane and crane components using Eigen value analysis, Nonlinear analysis and analytical calculations that meets CMAA, FEM, EN and NOG requirements.
  • Perform optimization of bridge girders and other crane components subjected to various geometry and functional constraints like buckling, yielding and fatigue.
  • Knowledge on ASCE, IBC codes is a plus
