Graduate Stress Engineer Rocket Motor
Location: Kidderminster, England
Description: Discovery Graduates is presently looking of Graduate Stress Engineer Rocket Motor right now, this position will be placed in England. More details about this position opportunity please read the description below. An excellent opportunity to work within a Midlands based company operating in an area of cutting edge technology.
Roxel is an Anglo-French Company that des! igns, develops and manufactures a range of solid propellant rocket motors for use in tactical missiles. Its operations are spread across several sites in the UK and France and it has an annual turnover of about £100M and nearly 700 staff.
The UK operations are based at Summerfield, Kidderminster and have a requirement for a graduate to work as a stress analyst / engineer on a variety of new and existing projects.
Main Responsibilities
The successful candidate will work as an integral part of a team and on all phases of the project life cycle including initial concept design, full scale development, production and in-service customer support.
Specific areas of involvement will include:
- Stress analysis of the rocket motor structure which consists of a pressure vessel containing a propellant charge and related components such as the nozzle.
- The pressure vessel can take several forms ranging from a traditional mo! nolithic metallic structure to a composite structure comprisin! g several metallic and polymeric components adhesively bonded together. The propellant charge comprises a polymeric material with non-linear visco-elastic properties which are characterised in our own laboratories for use in finite element analysis.
- Both traditional analytical and advanced finite elements stressing methods (e.g. Abaqus) are used to determine failure modes, failure loads and safety factors. Implicit within the stress analysis is the thermal analysis to determine the component temperatures.
- Analysis if often verified by structural testing. Static testing is conducted in our own structural test facility where combined pressure, bending and torsional loads are applied across a wide temperature range. Fatigue testing is conducted by external sub-contractors.
- Stress analysis of specialist tooling is also conducted covering all stages of manufacture, assembly and testing.
- All aspects of the stress analysis are documented and for! m a key part of the certification process. This includes the compilation of a formal structural design record and presentation of the results to our customers and government representatives.
