About Devyn Zierer

Current Structural Analysis focal for military power systems under the Propulsion Engines and Power Systems group at Honeywell Aerospace. Experience performing system and component level analysis on military propulsion engines and power systems using analytical hand calculations, CAD modeling, finite element analysis (FEA), and empirical testing. Compose numerous internal/external reports and lead design reviews to meet system requirements that apply knowledge from from linear static/elastic-plastic stress, fatigue, crack growth, aircraft load analysis, impact & containment, ballistics, vibroacoustics, thermals, shock, random vibration, harmonics, and modal analysis.Familiar with industry standards including DO-160, MIL-STD-810, and MMPDS-07.

Experience

  1. Advanced Mechanical Design Engineer - Structures - Propulsion Engines & Power Systems

    Honeywell Technologies

    Oct 2024 — Present · Torrance, CA, US

    Collaborated with NASA to optimize a ballistic test for Kevlar characterization supporting a propulsion engine fan blade containment system by researching boundary condition methods in LS-DYNA• Performed propulsion engine cross-section axial load analysis for the Collaborative Combat Aircraft program, using control-volume methods to determine pressure and momentum forces supporting structural component sizing during conceptual design• Assessed the feasibility of an advanced R&D turbomachine turbine concept using system level FEA and hand calculations to determine thermal/pressure deflections for achievable steady-state performance clearances• Conducted a thermal analysis on an advanced R&D turbomachine to design a ceramic thermal barrier coating that optimizes spallation and sintering life for a high-temperature application•Evaluated a gas turbine engine mount system for an advanced aircraft military program to meet strength, fatigue, damage tolerance, and residual strength requirements under numerous aircraft acceleration and gyroscopic load combinations •Directed engine hardware through the full product life cycle for an advanced military aircraft program by performing finite element analysis (FEA), design changes to ensure manufacturability, burst testing, and a component level vibration & shock test to meet system requirements• Led a turbine containment design optimization effort for an advanced military APU by meshing a full-engine model in NX and conducting advanced ballistic dynamics simulations in LS-DYNA, achieving ~2 lbs weight savings presented at a customer design review
