About Derreck Martell

I’m a principal stress engineer with a master’s degree and over 17 years of stress, fatigue and DaDT analysis experience working on metallic and composite primary structures of commercial (Part 23 and 25) and military aircrafts.I am a well‐rounded engineer with extensive analysis experience doing classical hand calculations (i.e. Bruhn, Roark, Niu, ESDU…) as well as finite element modeling (Nastran, Patran, ProMechanica…). I am also well versed at using designer’s tools such as Catia v5 and ProEngineer.My work experience has given me the chance to work on a number of programs ranging from aerospace giants such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Airbus, to smaller companies such as Cessna and Piper where the job description covers a broader spectrum of tasks. My can‐do attitude and willingness to assist has led me to volunteer for distant assignments, industry assist and even spent time as a part‐time college recruiter.
